Hi,
I’d like to ask whether the statement below is true and why.
Where overheads are a relatively small proportion of total costs and where direct labour recovery rates are low there’s little point of adopting ABC.
Thanks.

October 22, 2014 at 8:02 pm #205480Hi @Stephanie
I also think it’s true.
I can’t translate to myself “labour recovery rates” and understand clearly, but regarding overheads:
Purpose of ABC is to allocate overheads more accurately. And if there is only a little of overheads, why do we need to adopt ABC – it wouldn’t change big picture.October 23, 2014 at 1:16 am #205497Thanks guys for the answer. 🙂
Yea I don”t understand the “direct labour recovery rates” part too.
For those who do, could you please explain?
Thanks!October 23, 2014 at 11:56 am #205579Recovery rates maybe absorption rates ?
