The correct answer is A. A process cost accounting system is appropriate for similar products that are continuously mass produced.

Explanation:

The system of costs by processes is that by which the production costs are charged to the processes, to the accumulated systems of the production costs, by department or by cost center.

This cost system is ideal for companies such as assembly departments. Even in the financial institution where I worked, the process cost system was also used as a method of calculation and cost allocation.
