The Cost

In 2017, a predictable change in the Brazilian social security legislation encouraged many public servants to apply for their retirement in order to avoid losing some benefit they had the right to gain. This sudden demand for retirement applications brought some awareness to the cost of retirement processes provided to Brazilian state educational institutions. Specifically, in this work, we aim to present a cost calculation model for a retirement application process provided to the public servants of Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte. This model is based on the Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing. The methodology used to determine this model included field study and interviews with managers of departments where retirement processes are dealt with. The most challenging step on the development of this research was to determine the precise measurement of the expenditure. Results found were satisfactory, considering that any and all expenditure data and budget transparency of the public department is relevant for social control and for the management of public institutions.

Selection Of

The selection of the right cost calculation method is of critical importance when it comes to determining the real product profitability (as well as clients and other calculation objects). Traditional cost calculation methods often provide false information. The literature offers many examples of big companies that have given up traditional methods and applied a new method: activity-based costing (ABC). They discovered that many products that are manufactured generate losses and not profits. Managers, based on incorrect calculations, mistakenly believed in the profitability of each product. Turney (1991) reports on an example of an American manufacturer of over 4,000 different integrated circuits. The cost calculation with the allocation of direct production costs as machinery-hour markup demonstrated a profit margin of over 26% for each product. Implementing ABC showed that the production of more than half of the products was not profitable, and having factored in additional sales and management costs (which accounted for about 40% of the total costs), it was as much as over 75%.

The Impact

Entering the new year of 2014 the Kingdom of Tonga had enough to worry about; a local economy choking to near death and a finance minister sacked and replaced in a political spectacle leaving the public baffled over what went wrong between him and the Prime Minister (Fayle, 2014; Lopeti, 2014c; Fonua, 2014b).  People uttered they looked forward to the end of year election tentatively set for Thursday November 27th.  The 2010 register of around forty thousand voters had increased at the 2014 intake by four thousand, mostly voters who had turned the age of suffrage at twenty one years old.  The chorus call from the masses was simple, vote them out.  Then Cyclone Ian struck on Saturday 11 January 2014 aggravating Tonga’s money shortage. Journalist Pesi Fonua wrote “the impact on the Tongan economy of the cyclone and the salary rise for civil servants at this point of time is a matter of great concern” (Fonua, 2014a).  He was right.  The state and taxpayers could not afford economic recovery from Tonga’s cruellest cyclone, a symptom of climate change, let alone paying for a 5% rise in the cost of living allowance for public servants.  As the national debt distress sore became inflamed the Public Service Association decided it was the right time to fight cabinet for a 22% living allowance rise because 5% was not enough (Lopeti, 2014a).  This essay asks a pointed question.  Leading up to the general election of November 2014, how was cyclone politicking being manoeuvred to sway the way people would vote?

<p class="Style1">More severe competition in business of today globalization, coupled with the scorching of economic condition, is demanding companies to constantly seek out ways to preserve their excellence performance, meaning 'doing the right things right' in order that they can achieve optimal performance. The deceptive belief that by increasing sales volume companies can increase their profit has caused them to accept orders over products and consequently increase costs no matter what difference each order made in activities consumption. The concept is based on idea 'The smaller the production volume, the smaller the cost'. Accordingly, this idea leads to overstated calculation ofprofit in ABC (activity based costing), product cost calculation will differ with activities. Accordingly, this gives accurate and complete information about cost for activities and cost for every product. This way, managements know which product(s) is (are) profitable, which part of the operation is (are) efficient, how to make sound strategy to create maximum profit.

Knowing the cost of health care services is a prerequisite for evidence-based management and decision making. However, only limited costing data is available in many low- and middle-income countries. With a substantially increasing number of facility-based births in Cambodia, costing data for efficient and fair resource allocation is required. This paper evaluates the costs for cesarean section (CS) at a public and a Non-Governmental (NGO) hospital in Cambodia in the year 2018. We performed a full and a marginal cost analysis, i.e., we developed a cost function and calculated the respective unit costs from the provider’s perspective. We distinguished fixed, step-fixed, and variable costs and followed an activity-based costing approach. The processes were determined by personal observation of CS-patients and all procedures; the resource consumption was calculated based on the existing accounting documentation, observations, and time-studies. Afterwards, we did a comparative analysis between the two hospitals and performed a sensitivity analysis, i.e., parameters were changed to cater for uncertainty. The public hospital performed 54 monthly CS with an average length of stay (ALOS) of 7.4 days, compared to 18 monthly CS with an ALOS of 3.4 days at the NGO hospital. Staff members at the NGO hospital invest more time per patient. The cost per CS at the current patient numbers is US$470.03 at the public and US$683.23 at the NGO hospital. However, the unit cost at the NGO hospital would be less than at the public hospital if the patient numbers were the same. The study provides detailed costing data to inform decisionmakers and can be seen as a steppingstone for further costing exercises.

As technological development increases in pace and complexity, it is ever more important for companies to understand the link between the technological resources at their disposal, their effective deployment, and the business goals that they aim to achieve. The cost of bringing inappropriate technologies to market may be damaging for an otherwise successful firm, and it is imperative to make the right choices at all stages of the product life cycle. Technology roadmapping offers a way to explore this linkage and, together with the associated supporting analysis, is a powerful means of identifying the key required technologies. Research to date has not revealed a generally applicable roadmapping approach in the public domain, and individual company experience is fragmented and inaccessible. This paper describes the development of a particular approach to technology roadmapping. It is intended to enable any organization to assess the value of roadmapping in its own particular context by means of a rapid first application. The experience gained from the research cases is discussed, providing some guidance for further applications.

<p><strong>BACKGROUND:</strong> Choosing an appropriate accounting system for hospital has always been a challenge for hospital managers. Traditional cost system (TCS) causes cost distortions in hospital. Activity-based costing (ABC) method is a new and more effective cost system.</p> <p><strong>OBJECTIVE:</strong> This study aimed to compare ABC with TCS method in calculating the unit cost of medical services and to assess its applicability in Kashani Hospital, Shahrekord City, Iran.‎</p> <p><strong>METHODS:</strong> This cross-sectional study was performed on accounting data of Kashani Hospital in 2013. Data on accounting reports of 2012 and other relevant sources at the end of 2012 were included. To apply ABC method, the hospital was divided into several cost centers and five cost categories were defined: wage, equipment, space, material, and overhead costs. Then activity centers were defined. ABC method was performed into two phases. First, the total costs of cost centers were assigned to activities by using related cost factors. Then the costs of activities were divided to cost objects by using cost drivers. After determining the cost of objects, the cost price of medical services was calculated and compared with those obtained from TCS.‎</p> <p><strong>RESULTS:</strong> The Kashani Hospital had 81 physicians, 306 nurses, and 328 beds with the mean occupancy rate of 67.4% during 2012. Unit cost of medical services, cost price of occupancy bed per day, and cost per outpatient service were calculated. The total unit costs by ABC and TCS were respectively 187.95 and 137.70 USD, showing 50.34 USD more unit cost by ABC method. ABC method represented more accurate information on the MAJOR COST COMPONENTS.</p> <p><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> By utilizing ABC, hospital managers have a valuable accounting system that provides a true insight into the organizational costs of their department.<strong></strong></p>

In developing an information system the school must determine a strategy in its development. Look for managers who are reliable in making decisions that are oriented to reliable development. One of the proper management concepts is cost accuracy. Accuracy of charging costs on cost objects is very important for users of cost information. Beside the accuracy, it is also needed to find out the cost per unit needed in the information system. This is intended to have a price benchmark for the development of information systems in the future. In this study the unit cost calculation uses the ABC (Activity Based Costing) method which emphasizes the cost calculation for the activities involved. The allocation of costs is based on salary data from trusted institutions, namely the Pedoman Standard Minimal 2019 by INKINDO. The results of this study get a total cost value of 18.407.082,00while the cost of each complexity is 5,301.00 with the standard cost of procurement of goods and services issued by the government and several survey institutions.
