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

Which of the following is not a step in determining the cost of goods completed and the ending

inventory valuation in a process cost system?

1 2 3 4

25% 25%25%25%1. Determine the cost per

equivalent unit

2. Compute full units of production

3. Determine the units to be assigned costs

4. Allocate costs to transferred and partially completed units

In a process cost system,

1 2 3 4

25% 25%25%25%1. a Work In Process account is maintained for each job

2. only one Work In Process account is maintained

3. a Work In Process account is maintained for each process
