Introduction
This chapter explains that the principal purpose of any
costing system is to allocate the costs of production (direct

units produced. The traditional costing systems are job order costing and
process costing. You should also be familiar with the other systems such as
the Activity Based Costing (ABC) and Just in Time (JIT) costing system.
