Introduction In relating utilitarian principles to business ethics, the cost-benefit study is most often used. It is a good business decision making tool that should be implemented. Companies will attempt to work out how much something is going to cost them before taking action that should, preferably, result in consequences favorable to everyone. In saying that, a company could make a profit while the consumer benefited from their product. With any luck, products are fit for purpose, safe, and
The crucial phase of developing an Information Technology (I.T.) project is the planning or the requirement phase. Apparently, success and failure of an IT project mostly depend on how solid the plan is at the start. To that end, a time and cost effective planning must be conducted before starting a project to deliver a product in a timely manner to the customer or business unit; importantly, this will maximize Return On Investment (R.O.I.). Having said that, a prevention and management of scope
benefits realized from a program or treatment alternative are compared with the costs of providing it. These costs and benefits are expressed as a ratio (a benefit-to-cost ratio), a net benefit, or a net cost. A clinical decision maker would choose the program or treatment alternative with the highest net benefit or the greatest benefit-to-cost ratio. 12 As opposed to the cost-benefit analysis, the cost-effectiveness analysis is a way of summarizing the health benefits and resources used by competing

Resources are assigned to ac-tivities, and activities to cost objects based on consumption estimates. The latter utilize cost drivers to attach activity costs to outputs. (CIMA Official Terminology, 2005) Broadly, activity-based costing is an approach for allocating overhead costs. More specif-ically, ABC allocates overhead to multiple activity cost pools, and it then assigns the activity cost pools to products and services by means of cost drivers. In activity-based costing, an activity is any event
2.4 How can costs be allocated to processes so that better decisions can be made In this subsection, we discuss how coast can be allocated to processes in order to aid better decision making. We opine that better cost allocation can be done with the aid of activity based costing. Activity based costing provides a useful and objective way to deal with indirect cost. Arbitrary allocation of cost and the tendency to bury logistics cost in other cost present in the organization is reduced. This is because
