Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The widespread use of ABC systems in service and merchandising companies reinforces the idea that ABC systems are used by managers for strategic decisions rather than for inventory valuation. Service companies, in particular, find great value from ABC because a vast majority of their cost structure is composed of indirect costs. ABC helps to assign indirect costs to cost objects by identifying activities and cost drivers. As a result, ABC systems provide greater insight than traditional systems into the management of these indirect costs.
