I'm going with C. It just seems the most logical and in line with what I know about ABC. Also, who would design a 'disadvantage' as the correct answer? That's just mean.

I agree, C seems like the most logical choice. And I agree, designing a disadvantage as the correct answer would be pretty mean.

I think C is the correct answer too. It makes sense to use ABC with both job order and process cost systems.

B) An ABC costing system uses a single unit-level basis to allocate overhead costs to products. Hold on, that can't be right. Isn't the whole point of ABC to use multiple cost drivers to allocate overhead more precisely? This answer is just silly.

D) The primary disadvantage of an ABC costing system is less accurate product costing. Really? I thought the whole idea of ABC was to improve product costing accuracy. This answer doesn't make much sense to me.

A) An ABC costing system is similar to conventional costing systems in how it treats the allocation of manufacturing overhead. Hmm, I'm not sure about that one. Isn't the whole point of ABC to allocate overhead more accurately than traditional methods?
