Activity-Based vs Throughput Accounting

Abstract: A 4 page paper comparing activity-based and volume accounting. The throughput approach can provide a ballpark assessment of the costs of producing a specific product, but ABC can provide accurate cost figures of each of the steps of production. Volume accounting can be misleading in terms of identifying which products or activities are more profitable. ABC provides fuller, more accurate assessment of the true cost of activities, enabling the organization to focus on activities that truly are more profitable. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
