    Are you a student or doing a real application on determining the use of cost accounting techniques?

    Activity based accounting requires a rigorous review of "activities" or "task" based on a process (or you must think through).

    Standard costing (GAAP) works on "average" accounting techniques therefore only averages are employed

    You cannot determine facts from averages (thus cost accounting techniques are useless)
