Activity-Based Costing (ABC) [1..4] is developed to improve the accuracy of product cost data derived from the
traditional cost system. The main shortcoming of the traditional cost system is to distribute the overhead cost over the
product by using the volume-related allocation bases such as direct labor hours, direct labor cost, direct material costs,
and machine hours. It will not seriously distort the product costs in the traditional manufacturing environment where
the overhead cost is just a small portion of product cost. In the modem manufacturing environment, however, the
overhead cost will grow rapidly as manufacturers increasingly promote the level of automation and computerization,
and the cost distortion of the traditional cost systems will be significan
