3.2.2. Identification of cost per minute
In the second part of the TDABC analysis, we need to
identify for each resource how much one time unit (i.e.
1min) per activity actually costs (Table 3). All cost rates
hereby are based on the practical capacity instead of the
theoretical capacity. As mentioned above, the theoretical
capacity equals the theoretically availableworking minutes
while themore realistic practical capacity is set at80%of the
theoretical capacity, a standardnumber inthemanagement
accounting literature [14,16,20].
