Costing system: ___________________
Reason:
1.__________________________
2.__________________________
Solution:
Answer of gdb :
Costing system: _ Process Costing syestem
Reason:
JUST Select only two as per requrirement
m mentioning here 4 reasons to support answer:
1- a mass production of homogeneous units
2 - Production is not in response to customers' orders
3- same cost is chargeable to each unit .
4- Cost is associated only with departments and not with jobs
Refrences frome book to consult
Thesre are showing that this is the Process Costing system
Don’t copy just take idea

On the other hand take the example of a company producing cement. All of the bags of cement produced are quite similar. Here separate calculation of cost of cement supplied to each customer is neither desirable nor feasible. The company can calculate cost per bag of cement produced by dividing total cost incurred during the accounting period by total number of bags produced during the period.
Accordingly, the company can fix the price per bag and bill each customer according to the number of bags supplied to him. This company will use process costing system.

Examples of industries using Process Costing include:
Bottling, Pharmaceuticals, Cement, Paint, Coal, Distilleries Electricity, Ice, Soap, Sugar, Canning,Chemicals, Cooking oil, Electric appliances, Flour, Natural gas, Petroleum Products, Rubber, Steel, Textile. Under process costing, for the purpose of cost control, each department involved in manufacturing process is regarded as a cost centre and product costs are accumulated separately for each department. Cost Centre means a division or segment for which an individual is made responsible .for the incurrence of costDepartmental costs are passed through department work in process accounts and not through asingle work in process control account as in job costing. As all units are produced from the same raw materials and by same manufacturing operations, therefore, it is assumed that same cost is chargeable to each unit. Instead of accumulating cost of individual units, an average unit cost is computed by dividing total cost by total output of the period. Cost is associated only with departments and not with jobs.

Costing System: Process Costing
Reason1: determines the specific cost for each task to create a product
Reason2: accounting system that gathers direct/indirect costs of manufacturing and then averages them out into a cost per unit
