relationship exists between cost and allocation basis.
C. Multiple overhead rates can be calculated, one per department or cost
centre.
D. Overhead costs are accumulated and assigned to products in

QUESTION 1 ANSWER EXPLANATION;
A. Because of the extensive number of cost drivers that must be identified and measured, this
costing system can be prohibitively expensive to implement and operate, is a characteristic of
activity-based-costing (“ABC”) system. Therefore, option A is not the correct answer.
The correct answer is C. Multiple overhead rates can be calculated, one per department or cost
centre. This is not a characteristic of activity-based-costing (“ABC”) system. In ABC system,
overhead costs are accumulated and assigned to products in accordance with activities, based
