ABC allocates each overhead based on the activity that caused it, resulting in a fair and accurate product cost. βœ… Result: Product B receives a higher share of overheads because it consumes more activities.

Since overheads are allocated only using machine hours, Product B does not receive enough overhead costs, even though it consumes more support activities. ❌ Result: Product B is undercosted, while Product A is often overcosted.

Why was ABC developed? Traditional costing often allocates overheads using a single basis (such as labour hours or machine hours). This may produce inaccurate product costs, especially where: Overheads form a significant portion of total costs. Multiple products are produced. Products consume overhead activities differently. ABC provides a more accurate method of allocating overheads.

Exam Weight: This topic is frequently assessed in Section A and is commonly integrated with decision-making questions in Section C of the ACCA PM examination.
1. Introduction to Activity-Based Costing (ABC) Definition Activity-Based Costing (ABC) constitutes a costing methodology that allocates overhead costs to products or services based on the activities that consume resources. In contrast to traditional costing methods, ABC acknowledges that activities consume resources, and products consume activities. Key Principle
