A Four-Stage Activity-Based Costing (4ABC) model and a computer-based system are created in this research to demonstrate the ABC cost allocation process. 4ABC uses four different levels of activity cost driver to allocate the cost from resource to product. These cost drivers are Resource-to-Department Cost Driver, Department-to-Function Cost Driver, Function-to-Activity Cost Drivers and Activity-to-Product Cost Driver.
