Now that we understand cost classifications, let’s turn our attention to the types of cost accounting systems that accumulate and report costs.

There are many different types of cost accounting systems, but we can describe most of the important features of these systems by looking at two general types–traditional and activity-based cost accounting systems.

Now that we understand cost classifications, let’s turn our attention to the types of cost accounting systems that accumulate and report costs.

Traditional and Activity-Based Cost Accounting Systems

Companies adopt cost accounting systems that are consistent with their management philosophies and production technologies. Changes in philosophies or technologies often prompt corresponding changes in cost accounting systems.

For example, when Borg-Warner’sAutomotive Chain Systems Operation transformed its manufacturing operation to a just-in-time manufacturing system with work cells, it also changed its cost accounting system. This change in the way Borg-Warner operated made the existing cost accounting system obsolete.

A new cost accounting system, coupled with the new production systems, “improved the overall reporting, controls, and efficiency dramatically.”In recent years, many other companies also recognized the need to improve the accuracy and usefulness of their cost information.

The accounting profession responded by developing new types of cost accounting systems that improve the accuracy of costs and thereby enhance the value to managers who use this information for decision-making purposes.

Until the 1990s, almost all companies used traditional costing systems–those that do not accumulate or report costs of activities or processes. Traditional costing systems work well with simple production and operating systems.

Consider a company that makes only a few products for which direct-material and direct-labor costs are a very high percentage of total costs. Indirect manufacturing costs are a small percentage of total costs, so the system combines them and allocates them to products using only one cost driver–such as direct-labor hours.

Such a company can achieve a high level of accuracy of product costs with a traditional costing system.As companies grow and their operations become more complex, they often need to refine their traditional costing systems to maintain the accuracy of product or service costs.

They often do this by accumulating indirect costs into several cost pools–a group of individual costs that a company allocates to activities or cost objectives using a single cost driver.

Consider a company that has two operating departments, assembly and finish-ing. The resources in the assembly department are dominated by large, expensive

machines. The finishing department has only a few machines but many laborers. A tradi-tional costing system for this situation might use machine hours as a cost driver for the
