Slide Content
The slide titled "Activity-Based Costing Definition Template" introduces the concept of the Activity-Based Costing (ABC) Accounting Model. ABC is described as a costing method for identifying activities within an organization and assigning the costs of these activities to its products and services based on actual consumption. It emphasizes that the ABC model allocates more indirect costs, or overhead, as direct costs compared to traditional costing methods, thereby providing a more accurate reflection of the costs associated with producing specific products or services.
