What are the major characteristics of process costing system? The main characteristics of processcosting system may be summarized as follows:1. A cost of production report is used to collect, summarize and compute total and unit costs.2. Production is accumulated and reported by departments.3. Costs are posted to departmental work in process accounts.4. Production in process at the end of a period is restated in terms of completed units.5. Total cost charged to a department is divided by total computed production of thedepartment in order to determine a unit cost for a specific period.6. Costs of completed units of a department are transferred to the next processingdepartment in order to arrive at the total costs of the finished products during a period. Atthe same time, costs are assigned to units still in process

A key idea in process costing that refers to the number of whole units that could have been started and completed given the costs incurred in a period is known as:Multiple ChoiceManufacturing overhead.Units in process.A job cost sheet.Equivalent units of production.Production cost report.

A costing system which contains features of both process and job order operations is called a(n):Multiple ChoiceHybrid costing system.Yield costing system.Work in process costing system.Mixed production costing system.None of the above.

1) In a process-costing system average unit costs are calculatedA) by dividing total costs in a given accounting period by total units produced in that period.B) by multiplying total costs in a given accounting period by total units produced in that period.C) by dividing total costs in a given accounting period by units started in that period.D) by multiplying total costs in a given accounting period by units started in that period.

Amounts credited to the Work in Process inventory account may best be described as:Multiple ChoiceThe cost of finished goods manufactured.Total manufacturing costs charged to production.The cost of goods sold.Direct materials purchased, direct labor costs paid, and payments for items classified as manufacturing overhead.
