Abstract

One of the current methods of management is Activity-Based Costing (ABC), method that allows the company to understand more clearly how and on what activity/product profit is achieved. In essence, the method involves identifying all specific activities of a product or service and distribution expenses to achieve them with greater accuracy than with traditional accounting methods. This involves not only costs determining closer to reality, but a better understanding of the factors that determine costs.
