(b) Support
As it uses a single cost driver to allocate overheads it is less expensive to implement
andoperate compared to ABC and it is easier to understand and apply.
Opposition
Allocation is based on a volume measure which does not necessarily represent
cause – and – effect relationships between costs and allocation leading to less
accuracy especially where multiple products are produced and production processes
are complex
