He has spent the last month working with employees in the plant to change over the machines more quickly with the same reliability. He plans to produce 114,000 units of the Sport model and 47,000 units of the Pro model in the first quarter. He believes that with his more efficient setup routine, he can reduce the number of setup hours for both the Sport and the Pro products by 21 percent.

Process Costing
Process costing is a sort of operation costing which is employed to determine the value of a product at each process or stage of producing process, applicable where goods produced from a series of continuous operations or procedure.
Job Costing
Job costing is adhesive costs of each and every job involved in the production processes. It is an accounting measure. It is a method which determines the cost of specific jobs, which are performed according to the consumer’s specifications. Job costing is possible only in businesses where the production is done as per the customer’s requirement. For example, some customers order to manufacture furniture as per their needs.
ABC Costing
Cost Accounting is a form of managerial accounting that helps the company in assessing the total variable cost so as to compute the cost of production. Cost accounting is generally used by the management so as to ensure better decision-making. In comparison to financial accounting, cost accounting has to follow a set standard ad can be used flexibly by the management as per their needs. The types of Cost Accounting include – Lean Accounting, Standard Costing, Marginal Costing and Activity Based Costing.
![After reviewing the new activity-based costing system that Nancy Chen has implemented at IVC's CenterPoint manufacturing facility,
Tom Spencer, the production supervisor, believes that he can reduce production costs by reducing the time spent on machine setups.

He plans to produce 114,000 units of the Sport model and 47,000 units of the Pro model in the first quarter. He believes that with his
