, Absorption costing A costing method that includes all manufacturing
costs—direct materials, direct labor, and both
variable and fixed manufacturing overhead—in unit
product costs.
Activity An event that causes the consumption of overhead
resources in an organization.
Activity base A measure of whatever causes the incurrence of a
variable cost. For example, the total cost of
surgical gloves in a hospital will increase as the
number of surgeries increases. Therefore, the
number of surgeries is the activity base that
explains the total cost of surgical gloves.
Activity cost pool A "bucket" in which costs are accumulated that
relate to a single activity measure in an activity-
based costing system.
Activity measure An allocation base in an activity-based costing
system; ideally, a measure of the amount of activity
that drives the costs in an activity cost pool.
Activity variance The difference between a revenue or cost item in
the flexible budget and the same item in the static
planning budget. An activity variance is due solely
to the difference between the actual level of
activity used in the flexible budget and the level of
activity assumed in the planning budget.
