Decision on which approach to follow whether job order or absorption costing is that simple.
As the name itself tells job order, if the company is completely on jobs that is each job is different and requires different types of inputs then job order costing would be definitely better.
On the other hand absorption costing, if the product line is identical and not different with each other then absorption costing would be better.
This is because if at all, the output is always the same, then going for different cost approach for each product is not at a genuine solution. LOL.
