Abstract

Due to great changes that have been taking place, the traditional costing presents several limitations, such as: increase of fixed costs, product diversification and growing competitiveness. To overcome these limitations, the activity-based costing (ABC) comes up in the industry sector. Nevertheless, some conditions are required so that the ABC can be implemented in companies. It raises the following question: Will ABC be feasible in every company from industry, service and trade sectors? Comparing these sectors, different characteristics among them can be seen. It is important to notice that the same happens among companies, which belong to the same sector. After having reviewed bibliography, it can be concluded that the feasibility of ABC doesn't depend on the sector in which the company is implemented.
