I vaguely remember that this approach is meant to simplify things, but I don't think it increases the administrative burden like option D suggests.

I feel like the balance sheet approach might also have something to do with ensuring fairness, but I can't recall if that means identical pay to locals or not.

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think the key benefit was about compensating for living costs. So, I might lean towards B as the right answer.

I think the balance sheet approach is supposed to help with maintaining the expatriate's standard of living, but I'm not entirely sure if that's option B.
