2eSlide # 3Q1:Activity-Based Costing (ABC)â¢ABC is a method of cost system refinement.â¢Indirect costs are divided into âsub-poolsâ of costs of activities.â¢Activity costs are then allocated to the final cost objects using a cost allocation base (more commonly called cost driversin ABC).â¢Activities are measurable
making it more likely that cost drivers can be found so that a final cost object will absorb indirect costs in proportion to its use of the activity.
