Activity based costing is a system of allocating overheads to jobs, processes or products on the basis of activities responsible for such expenses, instead of the traditional system, so that true and logical cost is obtained. According to traditional system, firstly the overheads are apportioned over various departments on some basis and then they are absorbed to the individual product on the basis of direct wages or direct labour hours or direct machine hours etc. Suppose factory overheads are absorbed on the basis of machine hours, this is not logical, because all factory overheads are not dependent on machine hours and so the overheads allocated are incorrect and consequently the total cost and selling price based on such costs are all incorrect and illogical, which may put business into trouble. The overheads are absorbed under Activity Based Costing on the basis of activities giving rise to overheads, e.g. to allocate the expenses of procurement of goods, it can be divided into three activities like placing an order, receipts and inspection, storage etc. The total overheads of all three activities are ascertained and are absorbed to various jobs, processes or products in proportion to the services which they received from these activities, e.g. the inspection cost is absorbed on the basis of number of times the product is inspected, cost of placing an order is allocated on the basis of number of times the orders were placed etc.

Abstrak. Analisis Activity – Based Costing System dalam Menentukan Harga Jual Produk. Tujuan penelitian ini  Untuk mengetahui perhitungan beban pokok produksi dengan sistem Activity Based Costing (ABC) dalam menentukan harga jual produk dan menunjukkan perbedaaanya dengan sistem tradisional. Proses analisis data yaitu mengidentifikasi aktivitas, menentukan biaya yang terkait dengan masing-masing aktivitas, mengelompokkan aktivitas, menggabungkan biaya aktivitas, menghitung Tarif per kelompok aktivitas. Tahap kedua membebankan aktivitas ke produk. Setelah itu menghitung harga jual dengan menggunakan konsep biaya total.Dari perhitungan beban pokok produk dan harga jual terdapat perbedaan jumlah yang diperoleh antara sistem ABC dan sistem Tradisional. Perbedaan itu disebabkan karena dalam tradisional hanya menggunakan cost driver jam mesin, sedangkan ABC menggunakan cost driver unit produksi, pemakaian bahan baku, jam kerja langsung, luas bangunan dan jam mesin. Dengan menggunakan ABC dapat memperbaiki perhitungan beban pokok produk dalam menentukan harga jual. Kata kunci: Activity – Based Costing System, Tradisional Costing, Harga Jual Abstract. Activity - Based Costing System Analysis in Determining Product Selling Price. The purpose of this study To determine the calculation of the cost of production with the system Activity Based Costing (ABC) in determining the selling price of the product and show perbedaaanya with traditional systems. The process of data analysis is to identify activities, determine the costs associated with each activity, classify activities, combine activity costs, calculate the Rate per activity group. The second stage imposes activity on the product. After that calculate the selling price by using the concept of total cost. From the calculation of the cost of goods sold and the selling price there is a difference in the amount obtained between the ABC system and Traditional system. The difference is because in traditional use only cost driver clock machine, while ABC using cost driver of production unit, use of raw materials, direct working hours, building area and machine hours. By using ABC can improve the calculation of product cost in determining the selling price. Keyword: Activity – Based Costing System, Traditional Costing, Selling Price

This paper considers the problem of predicting a supply chain cost for prefabricated building construction under an uncertain situation. Based on the Activity-Based Costing (ABC) method, we establish a computational model to estimate the total cost of the prefabricated supply chain. The model can assist in not only finding the critical areas for cost reduction of the whole supply chain but also analyzing other costs of prefabricated construction projects. Furthermore, we provide a numerical example of prefabricated building construction to validate the results.

As the land adjudication and consolidation programme made progress in the Kikuyu Land Unit in the middle of the nineteen-fifties, it became clear that the traditional system of land tenure would have to be replaced by a system based on the registration of individual titles. Customary law was seen as an obstacle to agricultural development. Customary rules of inheritance could destroy the benefits of land consolidation. Moreover, the individual farmer had little incentive to develop his holding under customary arrangements. This point of view was illustrated by the Swynnerton Plan which proposed that “the African farmer … be provided with such security of tenure through an indefeasible title as will encourage him to invest his labour and profits into the development of his farm and as will enable him to offer it as security against financial credits”. Swynnerton hoped that the security of title conferred by registration would create a land market enabling fanners owning unviable plots or unworkable fragments to sell them off to neighbours who would be in a position to develop them more effectively. In this way “… energetic or rich Africans will be able to acquire more land and bad or poor farmers less, creating a landed and a landless class”, a process which he calls “a normal step in the evolution of a country”.

The Chinese traditional system features a hierarchical familial culture. When confronted with individualization and autonomy in choices of marriage and divorce, the system remains resilient and intervenes in the lives of young families. To analyze the discourses of divorced urban young adults, 46 participants (23 women and 23 men) aged 24–39 years were recruited from various regions in China. Through an analysis of the stressors involved in marriage and divorce, the concrete values and the conceptions shared in a unitary system of traditions were elicited. The promise of stability in a marriage was the appeal of this system while the focus on offspring was the general interest with evolutionary elements that justify this system. The concept of the individual autonomy of divorce grew from marital experiences and would be confined to the traditional system if its appeal remains unchallenged.

This chapter will show how detailed information from an activity-based costing (ABC) system can be used to support activity-based funding (ABF) by providing management with a detailed perspective of the activity and how it can be used to internally model the allocation of target activity to build an activity-based budget (ABB). By building a set of internal cost weights based on ABC data, this chapter will show how activity forecast in a funding agreement can be broken up and applied to the individual cost centers that contributed to the activity in the current year. Building an ABB provides an evidence base for the overarching hospital budget and encourages the adoption of a focus on efficiency by hospital departments.

The present article is an attempt to analyze the various factors affecting the adoption of an activity-based costing (ABC) system in selected manufacturing units in India. The following seven factors are considered: firm size, diversity of the product, percentage of overhead cost in total cost, listing of the company, cost audit compulsion, separate cost accounting department and the method of accounting. Logistic regression and a Chi Square test are applied to these factors and the use of an ABC system. On the basis of 72 sample units, the study found the size of the firm, percentage of overhead cost in total cost, cost audit compulsion and the method of accounting are statistically significant for the adoption of ABC system. While factors such as diversity of the product, separate cost accounting department and the listing of the company are found to not be statistically significant for the adoption of ABC system. The study has provided additional insights into areas relating to the factors affecting the implementation of ABC systems.
