| 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) |
