Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

When is job costing the appropriate system?

  1. Where each unit of output is distinct and made to a customer's order
  2. Where production is continuous and units are indistinguishable
  3. Where the business sells services rather than goods
  4. Where identical units are produced in discrete runs
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: A — Where each unit of output is distinct and made to a customer's order
Award 1 mark. A repair, a bespoke cabinet or an audit engagement all qualify — service businesses use job costing more often than students expect.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

When is process costing the appropriate system?

  1. Where each unit is made to a different specification
  2. Where output is produced in identifiable batches
  3. Where production is continuous and units cannot be told apart
  4. Where the business has only one product
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C — Where production is continuous and units cannot be told apart
Award 1 mark. Sugar, cement, paint and fruit juice are typical — no unit can be tracked individually, so the period's cost is spread over the output achieved.

CXC CAPE Accounting: Job, batch and process costing FAQ

Is Kramizo free for CXC CAPE students preparing for Accounting?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Job, batch and process costing practice with other Accounting topics or even switch to a totally different CXC CAPE subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Job, batch and process costing questions aligned to the official CXC CAPE Accounting syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CAPE Accounting specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC CAPE paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CXC CAPE.
How is Job, batch and process costing typically tested on CXC CAPE Accounting papers?
Job, batch and process costing appears across multiple question types on real CXC CAPE Accounting papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
