I knw batch costing is a type of specificorder costing where each batch is costed seperately due to uniqueness of batches..but m not clear still..

Diff between batch and process costing
Batch costing is simply calculating the costs of producing a batch (and from there a cost per unit).
If the batch went through several processes, then it could involve process costing as well, but that won't happen in the exam.
They are two different things - it is not a question of being a choice.
I do suggest that you watch my free lectures on these.
