Which characteristic distinguishes process costing from job order costing? A simplifying assumption is that process costing should be used when each unit or batch has unique characteristics. A simplifying assumption is that the notion of equivalent units is important in job order costing and is not often used with process costing. A simplifying assumption is that 100% of the direct labor in process costing is introduced to production at the beginning of the production process. A simplifying assumption in process costing is that all units started are successfully completed, meaning there are no spoiled units to worry about.
