ACCT 212 Chapter 4: Activity-Based
Costing Exam Study Guide

Activity-Based Costing (ABC) - Answer✔✔-A two-stage costing method in which overhead costs are

assigned to products on the basis of the activities they require.


Activity - Answer✔✔-An event that causes the consumption of overhead resources.


Activity Cost Pool - Answer✔✔-A "bucket" in which costs are accumulated that relate to a single activity

measure in an activity-based costing system.


Activity Measure - Answer✔✔-An allocation base in an activity-based costing system: ideally, a measure

of whatever causes the costs in an activity cost pool.


Activity Rate - Answer✔✔-An overhead rate in activity-based costing. Each activity cost pool has its own

activity rate which is used to assign overhead to products and services.


Unit-Level Activities - Answer✔✔-Activities that arise as a result of the total volume of goods and

services that are produced, and that are performed each time a unit is produced.


Batch-Level Activities - Answer✔✔-Activities that are performed each time a batch of goods is handled

or processed, regardless of how many units are in the batch. The amount of resource consumed depends

on the number of batches run rather than on the number of units in the batch.


Activity-Based Management - Answer✔✔-A management approach that focuses on managing activities

as a way of eliminating waste and reducing delays and defects.
