The computer workstation furniture manufacturing that Adria Lopez started is progressing well. At this point, Adria is using a job order costing system to account for the production costs of this product line. Adria has heard about process costing and is wondering whether process costing might be a better method for her to keep track of and monitor her production costs.
Required:
1. What are the features that distinguish job order costing from process costing?
2. Do you believe that Adria should continue to use job order costing or switch to process costing for her workstation furniture manufacturing? Explain.
