Explanation of Solution

Job order costing is a type of costing applied for recording the cost of the production/ service individually for a specific job. Under the job order costing, the costs are recorded separately for each job and the cost of each job is calculated separately. The job order costing method is applied in the businesses where the costs related to each unit of production or service can be identified separately.
