Answer 1

Answer:

Process costing would be appropriate for a jeweler who makes custom jewelry to order.

Explanation:

Product costing is defined as the process by which the best costing method is chosen to suit a particular product.

There are three main types: process costing, specific order costing, and service costing.

Process costing is a method that determines the cost incurred at each stage of production. It is best used for processes that are repetitive such as manufacturing plants.

However a jeweler who makes custom jewelry to order will most appropriately be served by a specific order costing.

This involves costing according to distinct jobs or contracts.

There is no specific or repetitive process, rather the job is usually carried out according to specific needs of a customer.
