    Good day,

    When completing the PM Mock Exam I came across an apparent error, where the option marked as correct doesn’t correspond to the explanation given in the Review.

    The Question is:

    Which of the following statements about Activity Based Costing is/are true?

    1) Traditional absorption costing tends to under-allocate overhead costs to low-volume products

    2) A cost driver is any factor that causes a change in the cost of an activity

    Per the test, the option “Statements 1 and 2” is marked correct, however in the summary explanation, it states “Only Option 2 is correct”. It should mark “only Statement 2” as correct.

    Both statements are correct.

    I did correct the explanation two weeks ago to state that both statements are correct, but thank you for bringing it to my attention – I will check that admin has uploaded the corrected test.

    If you are unsure as to why both statements are correct then check the following post:
