Document Summary
Volume-based (throughput-based) costing systems: a product-costing system in which costs are assigned to products on the basis of a single activity base related to volume (direct-labor hours or machine hours) Activity-based costing (abc) system: a two-stage procedure used to assign overhead costs to products or services produced. In the first stage, significant activities are identified, and overhead costs are. Activity cost pool: a grouping of overhead costs assigned to various similar activities. Cost hierarchy: the classification of activities into levels identified in an activity-based costing system. Unit-level activity: an activity that must be done for each unit of production. Batch-level activity: an activity that must be accomplished for each batch of. Facility-level (general operations) activity: an activity that is required for an. Consumption ratio: the proportion of an activity consumed by a particular product. Cost driver: a characteristic of an activity or event that results in the incurrence of costs by that activity or event.
