Learning Objective 1
Explain undercosting
and overcosting of
products and services.

Undercosting and
Overcosting Example
Jose, Roberta, and Nancy order
separate items for lunch.
Jose’s order amounts to
$14
Roberta consumed
30
Nancy’s order is
16
Total
$60
What is the average cost per lunch?

5-3
Undercosting and
Overcosting Example
$60 ÷ 3 = $20
Jose and Nancy
are overcosted.
Roberta is
undercosted.

Existing Single IndirectCost Pool System Example
Kole Corporation manufactures a normal lens
(NL) and a complex lens (CL).
Kole currently uses a single indirect-cost rate
job costing system.
Cost objects: 80,000 (NL) and 20,000 (CL).

Kole uses 36,000 direct manufacturing
labor-hours to make NL and 14,000 direct

Refining a Costing System
1. Design of Products and Process
The Design Department designs the molds
and defines processes needed (details of
the manufacturing operations).

Refining a Costing System
2. Manufacturing Operations
Lenses are molded, finished,
cleaned, and inspected.
3. Shipping and Distribution
Finished lenses are packed and
sent to the various customers.

Learning Objective 4
Describe a four-part
cost hierarchy.
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
5 - 26
Cost Hierarchies
A cost hierarchy is a categorization
of costs into different cost pools.
Cost drivers bases (cost-allocation bases)
Degrees of difficulty in determining
cause-and-effect relationships
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
5 - 27
Cost Hierarchies
ABC systems commonly use a
four-part cost hierarchy to
identify cost-allocation bases:
1. Output unit-level costs
2.
Batch-level costs
3.
Product-sustaining costs
4.
Facility-sustaining costs
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
5 - 28
Output Unit-Level Costs
These are resources sacrificed
on activities performed on each
individual unit of product or service.

Repairs
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
5 - 29
Batch-Level Costs
These are resources sacrificed on
activities that are related to a group
of units of product(s) or service(s)
rather than to each individual unit
of product or service.
Setup-hours
Procurement costs
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
5 - 30
Product-Sustaining Costs
These are often called service-sustaining
costs and are resources sacrificed on
activities undertaken to support
individual products or services.
Design costs
Engineering costs
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
5 - 31
Facility-Sustaining Costs
These are resources sacrificed on
activities that cannot be traced to
individual products or services but
support the organization as a whole.

Implementing
Activity-Based Costing
Cleaning and maintenance costs of
$360,000 are direct batch-level costs.
Why?
Because these costs consist of workers’
wages for cleaning molds after each
batch of lenses is run.

ABM describes management decisions that use
activity-based costing information to satisfy
customers and improve profits.
Product pricing and mix decisions
Cost reduction and process improvement decisions
Design decisions
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
5 - 45
Product Pricing and
Mix Decisions
ABC gives management insight into the cost
structures for making and selling diverse products.
It provides more accurate product cost
information and more detailed information
on costs of activities and the drivers of those costs.
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
5 - 46
Cost Reduction and Process
Improvement Decisions
Manufacturing and distribution personnel use
ABC systems to focus on cost-reduction efforts.
Managers set cost-reduction targets in terms of
reducing the cost per unit of the cost-allocation base.
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
5 - 47
Design Decisions
Management can identify and evaluate new designs
to improve performance by evaluating how product
and process designs affect activities and costs.
Companies can work with their customers to
evaluate the costs and prices of alternative designs.

Learning Objective 7
Compare activity-based costing
systems and departmentcosting systems.
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster

ABC and Department
Indirect-Cost Rates
Many companies have evolved their
costing system from using a single
cost pool to using separate indirect-cost
rates for each department:
Design
Manufacturing
Distribution
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
5 - 50
ABC and Department
Indirect-Cost Rates
Why?
Because the cost drivers of resources in each
department or subdepartment differ from the
single, company-wide, cost-allocation base.
ABC systems are a further refinement of
department costing systems.
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
5 - 51
Learning Objective 8
Evaluate the costs and benefits
of implementing activity-based
costing systems.
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
5 - 52
Benefits of ABC Systems
Significant amounts of indirect costs are
allocated using only one or two cost pools.
All or most costs are identified
as output unit-level costs.
Products make diverse demands on
resources because of differences in
volume, process steps, batch size,
or complexity.
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
5 - 53
Benefits of ABC Systems
Products that a company is well-suited to
make and sell show small profits while
products for which a company is less
suited show large profits.
Complex products appear to be very
profitable and simple products
appear to be losing money.
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
5 - 54
Benefits of ABC Systems
Operations staff have significant
disagreements with the accounting
staff about the costs of manufacturing
and marketing products and services.
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
5 - 55
Limitations of ABC Systems
The main limitations of ABC are the
measurements necessary to
implement the system.
ABC systems require management
to estimate costs of activity pools
and to identify and measure cost
drivers for these pools.
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
5 - 56
Limitations of ABC Systems
Activity-cost rates also need to be
updated regularly.
Very detailed ABC systems are costly
to operate and difficult to understand.
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
5 - 57
ABC In Service and
Merchandising Companies
The general approach to ABC in the
service and merchandising areas is very
similar to the approach in manufacturing.
Costs are divided into homogeneous cost
pools and classified as output unit-level,
batch-level, product- or service-sustaining,
and facility-sustaining costs.
©2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Cost Accounting 11/e, Horngren/Datar/Foster
5 - 58
ABC In Service and
Merchandising Companies
The cost pools correspond to key activities.
Costs are allocated to products or customers
using activity drivers or cost-allocation
bases that have a cause-and-effect
relationship with the cost in the cost pool.
