Unit cost is the total cost Unit cost is the total cost

associated with the units

produced divided by the

number of units produced.

sum of direct materials, direct labor,

Product cost is often defined as the

sum of direct materials, direct labor,

and manufacturing overhead. This

definition is required for external

financial reporting.

Cost measurement consists of

determining the dollar amounts of

direct materials, direct labor, and

overhead used in production.

Page 5: Activity- Based Management - NELY BACHSIN BLOG Management. 4-2 Unit cost is the total cost associated with the units ... in an activity-based costing system. How Costs are Treated

The process of associating

the costs, once measured,

with the units produced is

called cost assignment.

Two possible measurement systems are

actual costing and normal costing.

Measurement SystemsMeasurement Systems Measurement SystemsMeasurement Systems

Actual costing assigns the actual costs

of direct materials, direct labor, and

overhead to products.

Normal costing assigns the actual

costs of direct materials and direct

labor to products; however, overhead

cots are assigned to products using

predetermined rates.

Examples: Power and machine hours are used

each time a unit is produced. Direct

materials and direct labor activities are

also unit-level activities, even though

4 -81 Differences Between ABC and Traditional Product Costs

There are three reasons why the

reported product margins for the two

costing systems differ from one another.

Traditional costing allocates all manufacturing

overhead to products. ABC costing only assigns

manufacturing overhead costs consumed by

products to those products.

overhead costs using a volume-related allocation

base. ABC costing also uses non-volume related

allocation bases.

4 -83 Differences Between ABC and Traditional Product Costs

Traditional costing disregards selling and

administrative expenses because they are

assumed to be period expenses. ABC costing

directly traces shipping costs to products and

includes nonmanufacturing overhead costs caused

by products in the activity cost pools that are

assigned to products.

reported product margins for the two
