Manufacturing costs are assigned to production runs and the number of units for which costs are averaged. b. Orders are taken and the number of units in the orders ¢. Product profitability is determined and compared with planned coste. d. Manufacturing processes can be accomplished and the number of production runs that may be performed in a year, Two basic costing systems for assigning costs ta products or services are job costing and process costing. These two costing systems are usually viewed as being on opposite ends of a spectrum. The funda- mental criterion employed to determine whether job costing or pro- cess costing should be employed is: a. Proportion of direct (traceable) costs expended to produce the product or service. b. Number of cost pools employed to allocate the indirect costs to the product or service. «Type of bases used in allocating the indirect cost pools to the product or service. d. The nature and amount of the product or service brought to the marketplace for customer consumption. A company services office equipment. Some customers bring their equipment to the company's service shop; other customers prefer to have the company's service personnel come to their offices to repair their equipment.
