Roberts Company produces two weed eaters: basic and advanced. The company has four activ ties: machining, engineering, receiving, and inspection. Information on these activities and the drivers is given below. Basic Advanced Total Units produced Prime costs 100,000 $8,000,000 300,000 $30,000,000 500,000 $38,000,000 600,000 Machine hours 100,000 Engineering hours Receiving orders Inspection hours 400 3,600 1,200 1,600 4,000 400 1,600 2,400 800 Overhead costs: Machining Engineering Receiving Inspecting products $6,000,000 2,000,000 560,000 360,000
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.

The types of Cost Accounting include – Lean Accounting, Standard Costing, Marginal Costing and Activity Based Costing.
