ABC method of calculation is based on general production costs that are the main reason for switching from traditional methods of costing to the ABC method. To calculate the exact cost, theory and practice developed method for cost accounting based on activities (ABC). The cost accounting system puts emphasis on activities as main drivers of overhead costs, and uses them to calculate these costs and their allocation to the final cost centers. Calculation based on the activities is a system, which includes improvements to the cost accounting system based on cost centers.
