Understanding Costing Methods: A Step-by-Step Breakdown
Job Costing vs. Contract Costing
(00:00:58 – 00:01:29)
- Job Costing is used when customized products/services are provided (e.g., interior design projects, manufacturing unique items).
- Contract Costing applies to large-scale projects (e.g., real estate, infrastructure projects).
✅ Key Takeaway: Job Costing deals with small, tailor-made jobs, while Contract Costing is for long-term, high-budget contracts.
Process Costing: When and Where to Use It
(00:01:29 – 00:03:00)
- Ideal for industries that use a continuous production process (e.g., textiles, chemicals, pharmaceuticals).
- Costs are accumulated for each process rather than individual products.
- Example: A company making shirts follows multiple steps like cutting, stitching, and finishing. Each process has its own cost.
✅ Key Takeaway: If your business follows multiple stages in production, you should use Process Costing.
