Study Objective 1 The Nature of Process Cost Systems Process cost systems are used to apply costs to similar products that are mass-produced in a continuous fashion. In a process costing environment, finished units are normally indistinguishable from each other. Explain the similarities and differences between job order cost and process cost systems. Study Objective 2 Job Order versus Process Cost Systems In a job order cost system, costs are assigned to each job. In a process cost system, costs are tracked through a series of connected manufacturing processes or departments, rather than by individual jobs. Thus, process cost systems are used when a large volume of uniform, or relatively homogeneous, products are produced. Job Order
