Chapter 3A: Activity-based absorption costing. Activity-based absorption costing assigns all manufacturing overhead costs to products using activity cost pools instead of Plantwide or department cost pools. After studying this chapter, you should be able to use activity-based absorption costing to compute unit product costs. | Activity-Based Absorption Costing Appendix 3A Activity-Based Absorption Costing Activity-based absorption costing assigns all manufacturing overhead costs to products using activity cost pools instead of Plantwide or department cost pools. Activity-Based Absorption Costing Key Definitions and Concepts An activity is an event that causes the consumption of overhead resources. An activity cost pool is a “bucket” in which costs are accumulated that relate to a single activity. An activity measure is an allocation that is used as the denominator for an activity cost pool. An activity rate is used to assign costs from an activity cost pool to products. Activity-Based Adsorption Costing Activity-based absorption costing differs from traditional absorption costing in two ways: The activity based approach uses more cost pools than a traditional approach. The activity-based approach includes some batch-level and product-level activities and activity measures that do not relate to the volume of units produced, whereas the traditional approach relies exclusively on volume-related overhead allocation. Comparing the Two Approaches Note that the unit product cost of a Standard unit decreased from $44.50 to $43.35 . . . . . . . . . . while the unit cost of a Deluxe unit increased from $71.00 to $73.30. The activity-based approach contains two non-volume-related cost pools –”setting up machines” which is a batch-level activity and “parts administration” which is a product-level activity. The activity–based approach assigned these costs to products in a way that shifted costs from the high volume product (standard) to the low volume product (deluxe).
