Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Accounting is not an activity that directly affects the cost of a manufactured product. The other activities listed, inspecting, machining, and materials handling, are all involved in the production process and contribute to the overall cost of the product. Activity-based costing systems allocate costs to specific activities, and then assign those costs to products based on the amount of each activity involved in producing that product. Accounting is not a direct production activity and is therefore not a factor in determining product costs.
