1. In a process costing environment involving multiple departments, raw materials are only introduced in the first department, but labor and overhead may occur in any department.

3. A job costing environment uses a job cost sheet, but a process costing environment uses a cost of production report.
4. Process costing would be logically suited to a manufacturer of barbed wire fencing material.
5. An item is not considered in the equivalent units calculations until it is a finished good.
6. Factory overhead is not applied in a process costing environment.
7. It would be logical to maintain a separate Work in Process ledger account for each department.
8. The balance sheet of a business that uses process costing methods would include work in process and finished goods, but not raw materials inventory.
9. Process costing can be applied on a weighted-average or FIFO basis.
