12y ago#1A business can use whatever type of costing is more useful for them - there are no rules.
With a service industry like a hotel, it might be sensible to calculate an average cost per room/night (dividing total costs by total room/nights). They could then decide on the amount to charge per room/night.
For an audit firm, every job is different which is why they might use job costing.
Hmm, Thanx john sir
