This is a great question to test our understanding of ABC. I think the key advantages are the improved cost visibility, more accurate product costs, and the ability to make better pricing decisions. I'll select those three options.

Okay, I've got this. The answer is to add the compressor sub-components as sub-assets on the refrigerator customer asset record. That way, they'll be properly associated and set up for the customer.
