Job costing

JJohn7y ago
Which one of the following firms is most likely to use a system of job costing? A. A company that manufactures motor cars on a production line B A telephone company that provides mobile telecommunications services C chemical manufacturer that produces processed chemicals D. A company that installs elevators in office buildings I am hesitating between B and D but im not sure which one? Can you explain to me please?

The answer is D because each installation is going to be different (building are different heights for example) and so each job will be costed separately. A mobile phone company is providing the same service to everyone.
