From the supplier: The City of Indianapolis determined the cost of providing a particular social service to its constituents by hiring a consultant to apply activity-based costing (ABC) to evaluate these programs. The process enabled city officials to prioritize services according to the departments which could most efficiently deliver them. The ABC method was able to pinpoint specific costs for specific activities. The application of the ABC method allowed the city of Indianapolis to evaluate the actual value of the service dollar as well as the quality of the service rendered.
