ABSTRACT

In addition to cost center costing and resource

costing, another form of individual carrier costing

is standalone-cost costing. Standalone-cost costing

is a costing methodology that utilizes standalone

costs in costing the services provided by a

transportat ion firm. Like the former two

individual-carrier costing methodologies, stand-

alone-cost costing can be used for determining the

costs of individual services (provided by a

transportation firm). However, unlike the former

two individual-carrier costing methodologies, it can

also be used to investigate the cost efficiency or

inefficiency in the provision of these services.
