I feel like A and D are definitely related to cost of sales, but I’m confused about E since it mentions costs but also has a different denominator.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think the value method is different, so maybe D is out. I need to double-check how the balancing figure works.

I remember that the cost method uses costs incurred to determine the stage of completion, so I think A and E might be correct.

I practiced a similar question, and I think B and C might not use cost of sales since they seem to focus on total value instead.

I'm a bit confused by the phrasing of this question. The options don't seem to clearly align with the context provided. I'll need to re-read it a few times and try to connect the dots before making a guess.

I'm feeling confident about this one. The customer becoming overly dependent on the service integration partner is clearly the biggest disadvantage described in the options.
