The correct answer is letter "A": true.

Explanation:

Companies using the process costing approach accumulate and assign costs to mass production of a good. Instead, job order costing assigns costs of manufacturing to individual units of production. In process costing, the costs are reported from one department involved in manufacturing to another following the production process. On the other hand, in job order costing, the costs are reported in job cost cards as they are being used.
