Process costing assumes that all units are homogeneous and follow the same path through the production process.

(BQ) Chapter 11 - Service department and joint cost allocation. We have seen how cost allocation is used to develop the costs of products, services, and customers. However, part of the indirect cost incurred is from departments that do not directly produce the product or service but rather provide service to the departments that do produce the product or provide the service. In this chapter we will allocate the costs of these “service” departments. We will also consider product costing when multiple products are produced from the same inputs in fixed proportions.

(BQ) Chapter 15: Transfer pricing. A common example of decentralized decision making occurs when business units (divisions) within the organization buy goods and services from one another and when each is treated as a profit center (i.e., when each unit manager is evaluated on reported unit profit). When such an exchange occurs, the accounting systems in the two divisions record the transaction as if it were an ordinary sale (purchase) to (from) an external customer (supplier).
