Announcements > 3 ACC 202 Module Three Assignment Guidelines and Rubric Overview Companies choose their costing method based on their business activities and processes, as well as the products and services they offer. A company can be a manufacturing, merchandising or service organization; this also impacts which costing method will be most useful for its purposes. As a part of costing, the company also needs to decide how to classify overhead costs using either traditional or activity-based costing (ABC). In this written assignment, you will choose a company, consider its business and costing requirements, and recommend a costing system that will work best for the business. Directions Think about a company you know. This could be an employer now or in the past or a company you admire. Consider its business activities and the type of products and services offered.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria: Company Overview: Identify the company you selected and provide a brief overview of its business. . Is it a manufacturing, merchandising, or service organization? . Costing Methods: Compare the job order and process costing methods and explain how each of these can be applied to the company. .

If the company decides to use activity-based costing (ABC), what are some activity bases (cost drivers) it might use to allocate these costs? Recommendation: Based on your analysis, recommend a costing method for the company, and explain why you think this method will work best for the business.
