1.
© McGraw-Hill Education
(UK) Limited 2013 Activity-Based Costing (ABC) Chapter 6 1
2.
© McGraw-Hill Education
(UK) Limited 2013 • LO1 Understand the difference between a traditional costing system and ABC • LO2 Understand the process of developing an ABC system • LO3 Critically analyse the design stage of an ABC system • LO4 Calculate the cost of a cost object using the ABC method Learning Outcomes 2
3.
© McGraw-Hill Education
(UK) Limited 2013 • LO5 To be able to discuss the implications ABC has for companies using the ABC system • LO6 Critically discuss the limitations of ABC • LO7 Illustrate the difference between ABC and TD- ABC • LO8 Calculate CPA and analyse the numeric outcomes 3 Learning Outcomes
4.
© McGraw-Hill Education
(UK) Limited 2013 • Costing systems should be ‘fit for purpose’ – Designed for the needs of the organization – Designed to reflect the business model within which they work • Traditional Costing Methods (TCMs) have long been criticized, but the discussion was highlighted in 1987 by Professor Johnson and Professor Kaplan Introduction 4
5.
© McGraw-Hill Education
(UK) Limited 2013 • Relevance of Management Accounting – TCMs were designed in the early 21st century by engineers for small, local, manufacturing companies – The budgets of these companies were dominated by labour and machine costs – The TCMs were designed around the business models and budgets relevant at that time period Introduction 5
6.
© McGraw-Hill Education
(UK) Limited 2013 • Current Business Models / Industry – Today the Statement of Finance Affairs and Balance Sheets are not comparable with those from companies which the TCMs were designed for – The majority of companies conduct business in a wider geographical area Introduction 6
7.
© McGraw-Hill Education
(UK) Limited 2013 • Companies today have generally changed: Introduction 7 Old Business Model New Business Model Manufacturing industries dominated Service centred companies now have a significant presence Small local companies Large international companies Local competitors, suppliers & customers International competitors, suppliers and customers Significant costs were labour and machine costs Significant costs are logistics, marketing, selling, admin, etc....... Direct costs dominated the budgets The proportion of indirect costs has become significant. These are a only a few of the differences, the TCMs did not reflect the complexity of changing business models
8.
© McGraw-Hill Education
(UK) Limited 2013 • ABC was designed to reflect a more accurate picture of how cost objects consume resources from within the activity pools • It was designed to overcome the problems that TCMs had, where labour and machine costs were distorting costs – TCMs typically overcharged high volume products and under charged low volume products Philosophy of ABC 8
9.
© McGraw-Hill Education
(UK) Limited 2013 Activities: The name of a collection of tasks or processes which are linked in terms of overheads. Activity pools: The collection point of resources for overheads related to specific activities. Cost drivers: Drivers that connect the activity pools and cost objects. The cost drivers represent how the cost object consumes the resources. Key terms in ABC 9 Philosophy of ABC
10.
© McGraw-Hill Education
(UK) Limited 2013 • CIMA (2009) found that 46% of larger companies used ABC and 22% of smaller companies • CIMA (2009) suggest that the complexity of larger organizations explains why more larger than smaller companies use this system Relevance of ABC 10
11.
© McGraw-Hill Education
(UK) Limited 2013 • No matter what size the company is, one of the most important stages of using the ABC system is the design stage • Although the ABC system was designed to overcome many of the problems of the TCMs, if it is designed badly the output of the system will be no more accurate than that of the TCM Designing the ABC system 11
12.
© McGraw-Hill Education
(UK) Limited 2013 Designing the ABC system 12
13.
© McGraw-Hill Education
(UK) Limited 2013 • It is clear from the design process of ABC that there is a fundamental difference in the way the two systems treat resources and cost objects TMC : Resources Cost objects ABC: Resources Activities Cost objects ABC versus other costing systems 13
14.
© McGraw-Hill Education
(UK) Limited 2013 • Activities and cost drivers can be used to identify inefficiencies • When companies can identify inefficiencies they will strategically decide how to improve the process to reduce costs • To improve efficiency and effectiveness of a process activities can be examined on many levels, depending on the goals of the company Activities and cost drivers 14
15.
© McGraw-Hill Education
(UK) Limited 2013 Activities and cost drivers 15 Hierarchical nature of activities
16.
© McGraw-Hill Education
(UK) Limited 2013 • Elviso Ltd manufactures parts for medical equipment. The details of the two parts and relevant information, for one period, are provided: Calculating the ABC numbers 16 Alpha Beta Output in units 12,000 14,000 Costs / cost drivers: Direct materials £240,000 £350,000 Direct labour £168,000 £147,000 Total machine hours 2,100 2,400 Orders executed 150 110 Number of production runs 90 40 Number of shipments 50 15 Number of product returns 90 40
17.
© McGraw-Hill Education
(UK) Limited 2013 • The production overhead is currently absorbed by using units and the total of the production overhead for the period has been analysed as follows: Calculating the ABC numbers 17 Activity pool Annual cost £ Cost driver units Production 180,000 Machine hours 4,500 Material handling 78,000 Orders executed 260 Quality enhancing and inspection 130,000 Number of production runs 130 Delivery 26,000 Number of shipments 65 Production returns management 52,000 Number of production runs 130 Total 466,000
18.
© McGraw-Hill Education
(UK) Limited 2013 • In this exercise we are going to compare the cost of Alpha and Beta using both the TCM and ABC. • Student task: Using your prior knowledge of TCM and absorption costing, calculate the overhead absorption rate – using the number of units. Calculating the ABC numbers 18
19.
© McGraw-Hill Education
(UK) Limited 2013 • The overhead rate using the number of units to absorb the costs would be calculated as follows: • Total overheads / Total number of units • £466,000 / (12,000 units + 14,000 units) = £17.92 (note we will have slight rounding issues later because we have rounded to two decimal places here) Calculating the ABC numbers 19
20.
© McGraw-Hill Education
(UK) Limited 2013 • Therefore the costs of Alpha and Beta using TCMs is as follows: Calculating the ABC numbers 20 Workings Alpha Beta Direct Material From the question £240,000 £350,000 Direct labour From the question £168,000 £147,000 Overhead £17.92** x No. of units £215,040* £250,880* Total cost £623,040 £747,880 Total cost per unit Total cost / No. of units £51.92 £53.42 * This is where the rounding errors can occur ** This is the overhead rate we calculated on the previous slide
21.
© McGraw-Hill Education
(UK) Limited 2013 • Now we can examine the difference of using ABC by applying it to the same scenario • Instead of calculating one overhead rate, this time you will calculate a rate per activity • Therefore by the end of this part of the calculation you will have 5 rates Calculating the ABC numbers 21
22.
© McGraw-Hill Education
(UK) Limited 2013 You need to refer back to the following table: Calculating the ABC numbers 22 Activity pool Annual cost £ Cost driver units Production 180,000 Machine hours 4,500 Material handling 78,000 Orders executed 260 Quality enhancing and inspection 130,000 Number of production runs 130 Delivery 26,000 Number of shipments 65 Production returns management 52,000 Number of production runs 130 Total 466,000 Focus on the two columns with values in. Take an annual activity cost £180,000 Then divide by the relevant cost driver £180,000 / 4,500 = £40.00ph
23.
© McGraw-Hill Education
(UK) Limited 2013 • You are now to calculate the remaining four cost driver rates. Calculating the ABC numbers 23 Activity Annual cost Cost driver Cost driver rate Production £180,000 4,500 machine hrs £40 per hour Material handling £78,000 260 orders executed £300 per order Quality enhancing and inspection £130,000 130 production runs £1,000 per run Delivery £26,000 65 shipments £400 per shipment Product return management £52,000 130 production returns £400 per return
24.
© McGraw-Hill Education
(UK) Limited 2013 • Now we will take the cost driver rate and apply them to the individual products • The process is very simple, you take the cost driver rate and multiply it by the cost drivers related to the products • At this point you need to return to the question and extract the following information plus the cost driver rates you have calculated on the previous slide Calculating the ABC numbers 24
25.
