Activity-Based Costing (ABC)

Activity-Based Costing (ABC) assigns overhead costs to specific activities that contribute to the production of goods or services, providing a more accurate reflection of resource usage. This method helps businesses better allocate indirect costs based on actual activity, leading to more precise product cost estimations and improved pricing strategies.
