    D Under job costing, the production is standardised and requires less control while under process costing more effective control by management is required as production happens in large quantity Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All are correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Under job costing, as production is not continuous and each job may be different, so more managerial attention is required for effective control. On the other hand, under process costing, process of production is usually standardized and is therefore, quite stable. Hence control here is comparatively easier.
