Background: The activity-based costing system allows organizations to estimate the exact cost of their services based on the consumed resources, which in turn translates into increased efficiency of healthcare organizations. Objectives: The current study aimed to estimate the cost of ultrasound and CT scan services using the activity-based costing (ABC) method. Methods: Following a descriptive-applied design, the total cost of the most commonly used ultrasound and CT scan services in Imam Khomeini Hospital of Ahvaz was calculated using the ABC method. Data were collected using special forms and a list of services’ costs. To estimate the costs for different hospital sectors, first, the principles of determining cost proportion per service were set, and then using the direct cost approach, costs were estimated. Results: The highest and lowest differences from government-approved medical tariffs were related to the facial (523,000 Rials) and lung (133,000 Rials) CT scans, respectively. Also, except for abdominal and pelvic CT scans, the estimated cost of services was higher than the tariffs. The highest and lowest share of costs were related to the depreciation of capital equipment (1,174,490,000 Rials) and energy consumed by activity centers (952,000 Rials), respectively. Conclusions: For most of the investigated services, the total cost was significantly higher than the approved tariffs. To make medical tariffs more realistic and to continuously improve the provision of healthcare services, it is necessary to use costing techniques like ABC.

This paper considers the problem of predicting a supply chain cost for prefabricated building construction under an uncertain situation. Based on the Activity-Based Costing (ABC) method, we establish a computational model to estimate the total cost of the prefabricated supply chain. The model can assist in not only finding the critical areas for cost reduction of the whole supply chain but also analyzing other costs of prefabricated construction projects. Furthermore, we provide a numerical example of prefabricated building construction to validate the results.

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%.
