Activity Based Costing (ABC)

This is an approach to allocating expenses within a workplace, based on actual use of resources. This may be compared with the more normal approach of lumping together all unknown costs into an 'overhead' and allocating a proportion to each department. 

When it is used to manage the business, the overall approach is called 'Activity Based Management'.
