"How much is this really costing me?" Cost accounting focuses on production costs – which fails to consider value-added processing to the product such as special labeling for shipping cartons or inventory analysis based on point of sale data. Activity-Based Costing traces all relevant costs to a customer, product or other item of interest.
Know the Signs
"It costs too much to process a payables invoice."
"I wish we could know how much this customer's special requirements cost us."
