Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to describe the experiences of a wholesaler with time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC). Three research questions are addressed: How are complex logistics operations modeled by TDABC? Does TDABC provide more accurate cost information than activity-based costing (ABC)? How is TDABC cost information used?
