Currently, business development, especially in the maritime sector, has quite rapid progress in Indonesia. Recently, the shipbuilding industry's development is an effort to improve competitiveness with the global market. With the increasing development of the shipbuilding industry in Indonesia, cost accounting as a cost information system is challenged to develop the shipbuilding industry, requiring high product quality. This matter requires the company to decide on proper budget planning not to experience losses. Activity-Based Costing (ABC) System is a system to determine costs using activities to classify costs to produce indirect costs that are more systematic and relevant. Activity-based costing systems identify resources in each department's activities to provide information about a product's cost. It collects indirect costs and allocates them to various products in proportion to the product volume. Therefore, activity-based costing can estimate the product costs and individual activity costs used in the production well. The first step is classifying activities, associating various costs with various activities, determining homogeneous cost groups, and determining group rates. The second step of this stage is the determination of overhead prices selected from each cost group. This research compares indirect costs to the construction of 2x1800 HP tugboat ships according to traditional cost accounting methods with the Activity-Based Costing System method. The first method's result is 3,432,920,043 IDR and the second method is 2,231,760,472 IDR.

A fictional example illustrates how interdependencies among products in the production process, and the costs associated with those interdependencies, challenge the ability of cost accounting systems to generate decision-useful product cost information. The cost interdependency in the current example is a production-line change-over cost that is incurred to retool a machine whenever the production process changes from one product to another. Both marginal costing and full cost activity-based costing (ABC) are employed in an attempt to provide decision-relevant product-level information in connection with the decision to add a new product.

Today, organizational environments are increasingly characterized by an expanding use of advanced technologies. A company’s management accounting system should capture the underlying technology, be consistent with corporate commitment to total quality and increased automation, and promote its efforts to compete on the basis of cost, quality, and lead time. However, the recent literature reveals that traditional cost accounting systems systematically introduce serious product cost distortions, which lead to inappropriate strategic decisions. Activity-Based Costing (ABC) represents an alternative paradigm that is giving more accurate and traceable cost information. The objective of this case is to illustrate the application of ABC method in a single manufacturing organization operating in the metal industry and to compare the results of ABC with volume based costing (traditional costing) method. The results of the application highlight the weak points of volume based costing which assigns factory overhead costs using direct labor-hours or machine-hours as a cost driver. As a result, volume-based costing under-costs low-volume product (i.e. products requiring fewer direct labor hours in total), while it over-costs high-volume products (i.e. products requiring more direct labor-hours in total), and thus, a product is subsidized at the expense of others. In cost accounting this is called cross-subsidization. However, activity-based costing traces overhead consumption by each product and thus provides a more accurate per-unit overhead cost.

This paper examines the possibility of application of the activity-based costing in a company engaged in drying fruit. Activity Based Costing (ABC) was developed due to the shortcomings of traditional cost accounting systems, which was shown to have serious limitations, on one hand, and due to the need for more accurate cost price, on the other. This is of great importance for business decision making, which requires quality data and information, because the intense technical and technological progress has significantly altered the environment companies operate in. Along with this fact, major changes in cost structure occurred, which reflected through the increase of the indirect cost portion, and decrease of direct labor and material costs. Traditional cost accounting methods allocate indirect production costs using keys which are no longer appropriate for the new circumstances, and therefore typically allocate unreasonably high amount of indirect costs to those products which are produced in larger series. ABC cost accounting system firstly allocates indirect costs to pre-defined activities, and afterwards carries them to cost and profit drivers. The application of ABC costing in Serbia is at the very beginning. Having in mind that the privatization and the restructuring phase in the economy is followed by the establishment of a new management with fresh ideas, this can be a good timing for companies to introduce modern approach and modern methods of cost accounting. ABC method is very convenient for application in service companies, food processing industry, confectionery companies, driers, sugar refineries, breweries, dairies, mills etc.

ABSTRACT UD. Prima Bhakti is a food industry that is engaged in processing cassava into cassava chips which are located at Jalan Kemuning, Karangligar Village, West Telukjambe District, Karawang District, West Java. This factory experienced problems in the system of controlling high production costs which impacted on rising selling prices. The occurrence of production costs swelling due to the lack of good cost management. The costing used by the company is currently based on past cost data which is then made an estimated cost that will occur. From the above problems carried out a study of the design of the cost of production through the approach of Activity Based Costing (ABC). Activity Based Costing method is a method of calculating costs that imposes first costs on activities, then on products based on the use of activity by each product. Activity Based Costing System method identifies the activities carried out, tracing the costs to these activities and then using various cost drivers to trace costs, activities to cost objects. Key words: Cassava chips, cost of production, activity based costing ABSTRAK UD. Prima Bhakti merupakan industri makanan yang bergerak di bidang pengolahan singkong menjadi keripik singkong yang beralamat di Jalan Kemuning Desa Karangligar Kecamatan Telukjambe Barat Kabupaten Karawang Jawa Barat. Pabrik ini mengalami permasalahan pada sistem pengendalian biaya produksi yang tinggi yang berimbas pada naiknya harga jual. Terjadinya pembengkakan biaya produksi dikarenakan belum adanya manajemen biaya yang baik. Penetapan biaya yang dipakai perusahaan saat ini didasarkan pada data biaya masa lalu yang kemudian dibuat taksiran biaya yang akan terjadi. Dari permasalahan di atas dilakukan suatu penelitian mengenai rancangan harga pokok produksi melalui pendekatan Activity Based Costing (ABC). Metode Activity Based Costing adalah metode kalkulasi biaya yang membebankan biaya pertama-tama pada aktivitas, lalu pada produk berdasarkan penggunaan aktivitas oleh setiap produk. Metode Activity Based Costing System mengidentifikasikan aktivitas yang dilaksanakan, menelusuri biaya keaktivatas tersebut dan kemudian menggunakan berbagai pemicu biaya (cost drivers) untuk menelusuri biaya, aktivitas ke objek biaya. Kata kunci : Keripik singkong, harga pokok produksi, activity based costing

Activity Based Costing (ABC) is a simple calculation system to determine the cost of a product / service on the basis that it is the activity that causes the cost to arise, not from the product and the product that consumes the activity, the indirect costs can be determined through the activity it passes and the costs for each activity are then charged the product on the basis of consumption of each product in the activity. The purpose of this study was to determine the application of the cost of vehicle rental using Activity Based Costing method at PT Serasi Autoraya. This study uses descriptive analysis method, which is done by interviews and documentation. The results showed a comparison between the methods used by PT Serasi Autoraya and the application of Activity Based Costing System. For the calculation of the cost of the rental vehicle using Activity Based Costing System, namely for the type of Avanza car Rp. 3,710,271 and for Innova cars Rp. 6,567,413. There is a lower price difference between the calculation of PT Serasi Auotaraya and the results of calculations using Activity Based Costing System, namely for the Avanza Rp. 1,864,750 and for the Innova type there is a difference in the price of Rp. 1,313,728.Keywords: cost of rental service vehicle, Activity Based Costing System
