Assignment 1:
Discussion—Activity-Based Costing System
Activity-based costing is one of the most
accurate methods that can be used to allocate overhead. However, it is not
often used in many smaller organizations due to the substantial cost involved
with its implementation.
Using the module readings and the Argosy
University online library resources, research the activity-based costing
method. Use your research and/or your experiences as a working professional to
complete this assignment.

you have utilized an activity-based costing system in your former or current
employment, describe how this system had been used. In your response, be sure
to include your experience and position on the effectiveness of the activity-based
costing system. Support your ideas by drawing on your readings and scholarly
articles.

company needs to switch to an ABC system. Describe the common cost drivers that
could be used.
