The primary differences between job order and process costing systems include all of the following except that

1 2 3 4

25% 25%25%25%

1. under process costing, manufacturing costs are accumulated to departments rather than jobs

2. under process costing, manufacturing costs are accumulated into different accounts under the systems

3. under process costing, manufacturing costs are accumulated and transferred between departments

4. under process costing, manufacturing costs are allocated to products based on units of production
