Embedding management discretionary power into an ABC model for a joint products mix decision
نویسندگان
چکیده
Activity-based costing (ABC) and Theory of Constraints (TOC) are popular managerial tools for evaluating product mix decisions. A challenging aspect of the product mix problem involves evaluating joint products. These products involve complex interactions among resources and products and sequential decisions concerning producing joint products and their further processing. ABC and TOC assume that managers either have complete control or have no control over labor and overhead resources. However, managers generally have varying degrees of control over these resources. The purpose of this paper is to develop a general ABC model that embeds management discretionary power over labor and overhead resources. The paper illustrates the general model leads to optimal joint product mix decisions when the ABC and the TOC may not. & 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Carbon emissions are receiving greater scrutiny in many countries due to international forces to reduce anthropogenic global climate change. Carbon taxation is one of the most common carbon emission regulation policies, and companies must incorporate it into their production and pricing decisions. Activity-based costing (ABC) and the theory of constraints (TOC) have been applied to solve produc...

Activity-based costing (ABC) and the theory of constraints (TOC) represent alternative paradigms for evaluating the economic consequences of production-related decisions. However, their application can lead to contradictory productmix decisions. To resolve this con#ict, it is frequently suggested that the TOC is appropriate for the short run, while ABC is appropriate for the longer term. This p...
