Distinguishable homogeneous mass.
A t shirt manufacturing company…
Is a characteristic for batch costing environment.
The products are identifiable
During the production process …Anddd
Coca Cola company
I.e indistinguishable homogeneous mass..My question is
Does indistinguishable homogeneous mass means than
The Products are not identifiable during the production process but after the completion of the process ?
I will be surprised if the words ‘homogenous mass’ are actually used in the exam 🙂
However, homogenous means ‘all the same’.
From a costing point of view, we would probably cost t-shirts in batches. Not all t-shirts are the same (for example, there will be different sizes using different amounts of material) so we would maybe produce a batch of small shirts and cost them, a batch of large shirts and cost them, and so on).
However for soft drinks are is made in huge quantities (it is only put in bottles later) and all the Coca Cola is exactly the same – we can’t distinguish one days production from another days production. So we don’t need to cost in separate batches.
Yes dear sir but my question is

Sir
separately identifiable homogeneous mass and
distinguishable homogeneous mass are having equal meanings right ?
