The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the costing template used is efficient in the costing distribution and control within the organization, helping managers to make decisions. This research describes the development aspects of the template used, which combines some of the existing costing templates, such as ABC and Absorption Costing, and the way the template behaves in terms of costing distribution between different areas, considering the company's hierarchical structure.
