ABC成本分析法概述(英文版)內容提要：
Product costs don’t make sense：
Problem: There may be no relationship between the overhead application base and the way that different products cause overhead costs
The result:
High-volume simple products are over- costed and over-priced
Low-volume complex products are under-costed and under-priced

Why?
1. Allocations are based on unit or volume related measures.
2. Different products consume different amounts of support activities.
