Thanks everyone for your answers. For me, the answer is B, process costing. EUP is used to compute for the cost of goods manufactured in a single process or the cost transferred out.

Partially completed units already have a cost attached to them under job costing, so EUP is not related to job costing . An EUP is a measure of the amount of work done on the unfinished units expressed in terms of finished units that could have been produced for the same cost. EUP is thus relevant to Process Costing. Life Cycle Costing on the other hand takes into consideration the entire life cycle of a product or service in order to determine the cost of the product and the relative pricing thereon.

 

Ans. B Process Costing

Some units remain unfinished at the end of the period. For each department to adequately account for the costs attached to its unfinished units, the units must be restated in terms of equivalent units of production (EUP)

Life-cycle costing:

Life-cycle costing emphasizes the need to price products to cover all the costs incurred over the lifespan of a product, not just the costs of production.

Process costing is a method of allocating production costs to products and services by avg the cost over the total units produced

Job order costing or job costing :is a system for assigning manufacturing costs to an individual product or batches of products.

Naturally : The answer is equal in relevance  to all the above.
