Abstract

This research work discusses a proposal for allocating costs using the ABC approach with a matrix-based model that involves building matrices. A matrix is defined as an organized array of an m number of rows and an n number of columns. The total cost for carrying out a given activity is based on the number of times said activity is performed for a specific period of time. This method provides the basis for determining the total cost of manufacturing a product (or providing a service) if all of the necessary activities involved with manufacture are added up.
