Document Summary

Job-order costing and process costing are two common methods for determining unit product costs. Job costing (chapter 3) is used when many different jobs or products are worked on each period. Process costing is used most commonly in industries that convert raw materials into homogeneous products, such as bricks, soda, or paper, on a continuous basis. Both have the same basic purposes to assign material, labor, and moh costs to products and to provide a mechanism for computing unit product costs. Both systems use the same basic manufacturing accounts, including moh, raw materials, wip, and finished goods. The flow of costs through the manufacturing accounts is basically the same in both systems. Process costing is used when a company produces a continuous flow of units that are indistinguishable from one another. Job-order costing is used when a company produces many different jobs that have unique production requirements.
