Chapter 5--Product and Service Costing: Job-Order System Key
1. A production process may yield a tangible product or a service and their unique characteristics determine the
best approach for developing a cost management system.
2. Manufacturing firms produce intangible products that cannot be inventoried.
3. Service firms produce intangible products that are not separable from the customer.
4. Heterogeneity means that services cannot be inventoried and must be consumed when performed.
5. Inseparability means that production and consumption are inseparable for services.
6. The uniqueness of the products or units for cost accounting purposes relates to their common costs.
7. Cost accumulation is the determination of the dollar amounts of direct materials, direct labor and overhead
costs, and cost measurement is the recognition and recording of costs.
8. cost assignment is the assignment of costs to products or services once the costs have been accumulated and
measured.
9. Unit cost is a critical piece of information for a manufacturing business as well as a service company.
10. Activity level is the average activity usage over the long term and normal activity level is the production
level for one year.
11. Companies operating in job-order industries produce a wide variety of products or jobs that are quite
different from each other.
12. The job-order cost sheet accumulates the cost of all the jobs produced.
13. The collection of all job-order cost sheets defines a work-in-process inventory file.

22. In job-order costing, departmental overhead rates and activity-based costing affect only the application of
overhead.

the job’s use of the associated driver.
