    “Companies can choose to use the accounting job order costing method when they have a single product line or numerous products to manufacture.

The department overhead rates included the compressor assembly and test department has the highest overhead costs with the most machine hours that total $4 per machine hour. The compressor parts fabrication department yields the highest cost per machine hour at $24. ”Job order costing gives managers the advantage of being able to keep track of individuals' and teams'…
