B) All costs in a homogeneous cost pool have the same or a similar cause-and-effect relationship with the single cost driver that is used as the cost-allocation base for Collin.
C) Collin has unnecessarily wasted resources by classifying setup and distribution costs as they could have been considered as direct costs.
