Answer True False
1 points Question 25 Which of the following accurately describes a difference between job order and process costing systems?
Answer
| | In job order costing systems, overhead costs are treated as product costs, whereas in process costing systems, overhead costs are treated as period costs. | | | Job order costing systems do not need to assign costs to production, whereas process costing systems do.
| | | In job order costing systems, costs are traced to products, whereas in process costing systems, costs are traced to processes, departments and work cells. | | | Since costs are assigned to products in a job order costing system, selling costs are treated as product costs in the job order costing system, whereas they are treated as period costs in process costing systems. |
