28、　傳統(tǒng)上，ABC和EVA方法被單獨使用。作為一項成本核算系統(tǒng)，ABC主要用于提高經(jīng)營效率；而經(jīng)濟增加值作為一項財務(wù)業(yè)績評價指標(biāo)，主要用于改進財務(wù)效率。近年來，不少專家提出將作業(yè)成本法與經(jīng)濟增加值結(jié)合使用，形成一個成本核算和業(yè)績評價的整合系統(tǒng) (Hubbell, 1996a; Hubbell, 1996b; Cooper & Slagmulder, 1999; Roztocki & Needy, 1999c)。整合系統(tǒng)中的

29、ABC注重經(jīng)營成本,經(jīng)濟增加值注重資本成本，而這個企業(yè)戰(zhàn)略管理整合系統(tǒng)卻能估算在產(chǎn)品生產(chǎn)、工作或者服務(wù)過程中發(fā)生的所有費用。</p><p>　　本文對兩家小制造企業(yè)在三種不同成本核算體系（傳統(tǒng)的成本會計TCA、ABC、ABC-EVA整合系統(tǒng)）下獲得的產(chǎn)品成本信息進行實際研究并對得到的不同情況進行分析對比。本文注重分析在傳統(tǒng)成本會計和一般的ABC系統(tǒng)下導(dǎo)致產(chǎn)品成本信息扭曲的各因素、證明在ABC-EVA整合系統(tǒng)中產(chǎn)

32、y, 1999; Roztocki & Needy, 1999c)(此方法學(xué)的發(fā)展是為了更高效地實施小企業(yè)環(huán)境下ABC-EVA整合系統(tǒng)，欲了解關(guān)于其更詳細(xì)的信息，感興趣的讀者可參考引文。)</p><p>　　第三階段，收集所有參與公司在每個成本核算系統(tǒng)下得出的數(shù)據(jù)并計算數(shù)據(jù)。</p><p>　　第四階段，分析收集的數(shù)據(jù)。運用逐步實施的方法進行計算，各管理者校驗獨立記錄的數(shù)據(jù)的準(zhǔn)

33、確性、判斷計算得出的數(shù)據(jù)與公司原有實際數(shù)據(jù)的差異程度。這種“親身參與”方法使管理者能更好地了解并認(rèn)同整合系統(tǒng)的可行性。</p><p>　　針對每家公司，數(shù)據(jù)經(jīng)過分析后產(chǎn)生了不同結(jié)論。為使一般制造企業(yè)認(rèn)同ABC-EVA整合系統(tǒng)價值并在此方面達到一致結(jié)論，下文將對這些研究結(jié)果進行比較。分析數(shù)據(jù)更具體的目標(biāo)是調(diào)查在資本成本未進行分配或隨意分配情況下，哪些因素可能扭曲TCA或ABC系統(tǒng)提供的成本信息。諸如產(chǎn)品生產(chǎn)量、規(guī)

34、格、復(fù)雜性、材料和配置等的差異性因素往往扭曲成本信息(Cooper 1988)，因此，應(yīng)仔細(xì)地分析可能導(dǎo)致資本分配扭曲的這些因素。</p><p>　　通過追蹤產(chǎn)品對象的作業(yè)成本及運用多重的作業(yè)成本動因分析，ABC系統(tǒng)可能排除成本信息失真的情況。然而ABC系統(tǒng)未對資本成本加以考慮，隨意分配資本成本將導(dǎo)致信息失真情況的出現(xiàn)。另外，標(biāo)準(zhǔn)ABC系統(tǒng)下的成本分析只考慮直接費用和經(jīng)營成本，只根據(jù)經(jīng)濟利潤做出經(jīng)營決策或隨意分
