I’m confused about the administration costs; I thought ABC was more complex, which could mean it costs more to run than absorption costing.

I practiced a similar question, and I think the key difference is that ABC focuses on activities, so it might be more accurate overall.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like ABC is actually more detailed than absorption costing, which makes me lean away from B.

I think I remember that ABC is supposed to give a more accurate overhead allocation, so maybe C is the right answer?
