    Activity based costing
    Hi over there,

    Please let me know the difference between transaction drivers and duration drivers


    Thanks Zafar

    A transaction driver is just the number of times something happens. A duration driver is the number of hours (or other time increment) something happens.

    It's like the difference between a tax accountant charging by the number of forms used for someone's taxes (transaction) versus the number of hours it takes to do their taxes (duration). That is - the same activity can sometimes be done either way.
