Joint procducts may be processed differently or maybe sold without processing. This process of production is called the selective process. The calculation of cost in this method is called -- a. Parallel Process Costing b. Cross Process Costing c.Sequential Process Costing D.Selective Process CostingWhich is not a feature of process costing : O The output of multiple process is used as raw materíal by another process. O Calculate output in terms of equivalent units. O Process costs aré appropriate for industries that manufacture homogeneous products. O The output of one process is used as raw material by another process.

The allocation of indirect costs in an activity-based costing system a. may require other costs to be allocated to activities before the costs of the activities can be allocated to the products. b. is simplified because more costs are identified as direct costs. c. requires the use of heterogeneous cost pools. d. is simplified because a limited number of activities are identified as cost objects.
