ABC Costing (Activity Based Costing)
ABC Costing refers to a costing method that facilitates the allocation and distribution of the different indirect costs, this depending on the activities carried out.
​
This system provides a solution to the problem that arises when establishing standard costs, since the value chain is not reflected in the production of the product and, therefore, many times, the price determination tends to be erroneous, which is reflected in losses for the business.
​
To avoid such a situation, we can help you identify what your real costs are to assign profitable prices.
