The article presents a costing system for a fiberboard producer. Resource consumption costing was chosen as the underlying cost accounting methodology. Technological links between the consumption of resources and final cost objects have been reflected in designing the costing system. Allocation bases derived from the features of the production flow for allocating resources costs to cost objects...

To realize an effective cost control, a practical and accurate cost accounting system is indispensable in hospitals. In traditional cost accounting systems, the volume-based costing (VBC) is the most popular cost accounting method. In this method, the indirect costs are allocated to each cost object (services or units of a hospital) using a single indicator named a cost driver (e.g., Labor hour...
