b)
Three reasons why management would prefer the use of direct costing system to an absorption costing are:
• Operating results can be presented in a readily understandable form
• Operating results calculated according to the direct costing method are of a particular importance to
management in terms of decision making.
• The direct costing method helps to overcome the problem of allocating fixed costs and eliminates the
dangers attached to the over or under allocation of fixed overheads to certain products.
