Variable Costing and Absorption Costing - under the traditional costing approach, absorption costing, or full costing, products absorb all costs incurred to product them which can result in misleading product cost information for decision-making. Under variable costing only costs that change in total with changes in production level are included in product costs. The difference between the two costing methods is the exclusion of fixed overhead from product cost for variable costing. Post your response and ideas of the following...

Activity-based customer costing: a.has a single driver for all customers. b.is not useful for companies with a JIT (just-in-time) structure. c.is not useful for companies with only one product. d.has customers as cost objects. 3.

Which of the following statements about activity-based costing is false? Activity-based costing is most appropriate for a firm that produces similar products that use similar resources. Activity-based costing requires a two-stage allocation of costs. Activity-based costing categorizes costs as unit-level, batch-level, product-level, or organization-sustaining. Activity-based costing can be used for manufacturing, administrative, or selling costs.

Activity-based job-costing system. Henriksen AS manufactures and sells packaging machines. It recently used an activity-based approach to refine the job-costing system at its Vejle plant. The resulting job-costing system has one direct-cost category (direct materials) and four indirect manufacturing cost pools. These four indirect- cost pools and their allocation bases were chosen by a team of product designers, manufacturing personnel and marketing personnel: Cost-allocation base Indirect manufacturing cost pool Budgeted cost- allocation rate 1. Materials handling 2. Machining 3. Assembly...
