Unrealised profit may not actually be achieved (1). IAS2 (1) states that inventory (stock) is valued at the lower of cost or net realisable value (1). Realisation concept (1). True and fair view (1).

| Explain two benefits of using ABC? | Benefits of ABC are: • produces more accurate cost information as the cost driver which causes the cost is used to allocate the cost on a more objective basis (1) • does not require arbitrary apportionment of overheads (1) rather than based just arbitrarily on either labour hours or machine hours (1) • more accurate costs can lead to more accurate establishment of selling price (1) • this enables management to have a greater understanding of why costs are incurred (1) and how they are influenced by changes in production (1) • whereas absorption costing is useful where there is a narrow range of products (1) |
