US and German activity‐based costing

Abstract: Activity-based costing is widely used in managerial accounting as a cost measurement instrument. Accounting practices can differ widely between countries. Recognizing differences and similarities in seemingly identical practices between countries provides the opportunity for improvement and allows us to draw managerial implications in light of the increasing internationalization of companies. This paper compares US and German activity-based costing. The paper establishes differences based on purpose, cost conc… Show more

“…Indeed, ABC is one of the methods made and published about the application of this method (Gunasekaran et al, 1999; Hussain and Guanasekaran 2001; Cotton et al, 2003; Kellermanns and Islam, 2004; Kallunki and Silvola, 2008; Duh et al, 2009; Dugel and Bianchini, 2011; Stefano, 2011; Lutilsky and Dragija, 2012; Jänkälä and Silvola, 2012; Schulze et al, 2012). …”

“…Karakteristik pokok dari Metode Activity-Based Costing (ABC) adalah mengurangi distorsi yang timbul dari alokasi sembarang biaya tidak langsung dalam sistem konvensional. ABC telah menjadi subjek penelitian dan publikasi dalam literatur, seperti yang dicatat oleh berbagai penelitian (Gunasekaran et al, 1999;Hussain and Gunasekaran, 2001;Cotton et al, 2003;Kellermanns and Islam, 2004;Kallunki and Silvola, 2008;Duh et al, 2009;Dugel and Bianchini, 2011;Stefano, 2011;Lutilsky and Dragija, 2012;Jänkälä and Silvola, 2012;Schulze et al, 2012). Pendekatan ABC menganggap klien sebagai pusat perhatian analisis biaya, sejalan dengan pendekatan biaya kepemilikan untuk pemasok (Niraj et al, 2001;Narayanan and Sarkar, 2002;Anderson, 2005;Salem-Mhamdia and Ghadhab, 2012).…”

“…Additionally, product diversification in terms of production volume, production lines, or even the degree of innovation incorporated in the products, is expected to affect the practical implementation of the costing procedure, as well as the company's available choices when collecting the cost data (Cinquini et al, 2013). Producing many different products not only requires more resources to be consumed (Kellermanns and Islam, 2004), but also might create interactions that are expected to affect each individual product's total cost, especially when economies of scale are present.…”

“…However, due to their different operation mode, for every driver used, significantly variations are expected to the amount of the calculated cost (Krumwiede et al, 2013). The selection of an appropriate cost driver affects the quality of cost information, through the degree of integration of the causality, which links the expense to the unit cost (Kellermanns and Islam, 2004). The previous finding is also linked to the existence of a negative correlation (r:-,218) between the use of intensity cost drivers and the number of cost pools used.…”
