Process costing is the method by which costs are assigned to individual products when the products are all relatively similar (homogeneous) and are mass-produced. A budget manual details the budgeting process. A budget is a realistic plan for the future expressed in quantitative terms. Job-order costing is the method by which all of the costs associated with a specific job (or client) are accumulated and charged to that job (or client). The costs are accumulated on what is called a job-cost sheet.
