d) work orders are used to specify direct materials and step by step operations

e)a seperate conversion cost is calculated for each work order, as in job costing

Explanation / Answer

e) a seperate conversion cost is calculated for each work order, as in job costing

The above statement is false for an operation costing system.

The reason is in operation costing it is assumed that for a particular operation, same amount of conversion cost is used by a single unit and therefore a single average unit conversion cost used to calculate the conversion cost of all the units produced by a given operation.
