- Degression Effect
- Complexity Effect - 29What is the Allocation Effect?- Overheads are allocated to the individual products via the required process quantities according to the strain on operational resources.
- 30What is the Complextiy Effect?- Products with low complexity and little added value can be offered cheaper compared to the surcharge calculation.
- Special products become more expensive - 31What is the Degression Effect?- Small Orders are only charged with minor overheads.
- It is possible to calculate minimum orders with process costs
- High batch size leads to decreasing production unit costs - 32Goals of Activity Based Costing?- Monitoring of efficiency of resource application

- Storing Material
- Check supplier bills
- Managing departments - 35Criticism to ABC?- Short Term Monitoring impossible
- Effects will be seen in long term only
- Proportionality between cost incurrence and cost causation is limited
- ABC cannot be used for short-term decision making
