Abstract

This article aims at studying and implementing the latest and most modern version of activity-based costing, known as time-driven activity-based costing (TD-ABC). Product and service costing is a process of major importance for enterprises to be able to form their pricing policy, but also to control the cost of the produced products or services provided, both partly and totally. Pricing types vary and are determined by different criteria for each case, taking into account the mode of operation and the strategy followed by each business. This costing method was applied to a service provider, in particular show cave organization, providing extremely useful conclusions to the show cave management regarding its operation, being a reliable tool for assessing both its existing and future operations plans.
