Taking into account the types of operations that use job costing, are there aspects of a company that produce small batches of fermented goods which are made fresh every week? (Hint: the general growing of produce is going to use a process cost system).

1. What types of costs would be tracked?

2. Differentiate between direct materials, direct labor, and overhead. To answer this it would be helpful for you to start by listing what you think the costs are, and then break them out into the three categories.

3. Which of these cost categories are going to have the biggest effect on profit. Understanding that you dont have figures to work with, make an argument that is logical, based on what information you do have.
