Malaysia is one of the largest producers and exporters of palm oil in the world, accounting for 11% of the world's oils & fats production and 27% of the export trade of oils & fats. Oil palm tree will start bearing fruits after 30 months of field planting and will continue to be productive for the next 20 to 30 years. Thus, a proper costing method is very important in order to have a clear picture of its profit loss and gain for the next 20 to 30 years. The aim of this work is to apply the activity based costing (ABC) as a method of cost estimation for the palm oil plantation. The ABC has been applied to analyze the costing for every activity involved in the palm oil plantation. The actual cost information of each activity has been obtained through a process flowchart. Other than that, proper cost driver has been assigned in order to obtain the actual manufacturing cost of an oil palm plantation. The expected monthly manufacturing costs of xxx company has been calculated which is MYR 494303.04 and consequently the accurate profitability can be achieved. Accurate profitability is the most important factor for the management to identify the money that process in order to maintain rapid but sustainable growth. Therefore, ABC has assigned actual cost information and proper cost drivers for each of the activities being involved and it makes the company’s profitability more accurate.

The Electrical & Electronic (E&E) company is one of Malaysia’s leading industries that has 24.5% in manufacturing sector production. With a continuous innovation of E&E company, the current costing being used is hardly to access the complete activities with variations required for each workstation to measure the un-used capacity in term of resources and cost. The objective of this work is to develop a new costing structure using time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC) at . This data collection was obtained at E&E company located at Kuantan, Pahang that focusing on magnetic component. The historical data was considered in 2018. TDABC is used to measure the un-used capacity by constructing the time equation and capacity cost rate. This work found three conditions of un-used capacity. Type I is pessimistic situation whereby according to winding toroid core, the un-used capacity of time and cost are -14820 hours and -MYR2.60 respectively. It means the system must sacrifice the time and cost more than actual apportionment. Type II is most likely situation whereby according to assembly process, the un-used capacity of time and cost are 7400 hours and MYR201575.45 respectively. It means the system minimize the time and cost which close to fully utilize from the actual apportionment. Type III is optimistic situation whereby according to alignment process, the un-used capacity of time and cost are 4120 hours and MYR289217.15 respectively. It means the system used small amount of cost and time from the actual apportionment.
