ABC Method -
Answer✅
More accurate because it does a better job of identifying activities that actually drive
overhead costs and how different product's production methods drive those costs.
While ABC is more complex and costly to implement, it is more accurate. The process of
developing an ABC system can also help the firm identify problem areas in their production
process.
Using ABC tends to be worth the extra cost when a firm produces multiple products that
are produced in very different ways (i.e., have fairly complex production processes). If the
firm only has one produce or if their products are very similar in how they are produced,
then ABC.

Articulation -
Answer✅
In an accounting context, articulation means that the three primary financial statements are
not isolated lists of numbers but are an integrated set of reports on a company's financial
status. The statement of cash flows contains the detailed explanation for why the balance
sheet cash amount changed from beginning of year to end of year. The income statement,
combined with the amount of dividends declared during the year, explains the change in
retained earnings shown on the balance sheet. Cash from operations on the statement of
cash flows is transformed into net income through the accounting adjustments applied to
the raw cash flow data.
