Verified step by step guidance

Understand the purpose of a process cost summary: A process cost summary is a report used in process costing systems to summarize the costs incurred in a production process. It helps managers analyze production costs, efficiency, and cost per unit.

Review the options provided in the question: The options include setting company-wide sales targets, determining the cost per unit produced, evaluating production efficiency, and preparing journal entries for cost flows.

Analyze the relevance of each option to the process cost summary: Determine which options align with the primary functions of a process cost summary. For example, calculating cost per unit and evaluating efficiency are directly related to production cost analysis.

Identify the option that does not align: Setting company-wide sales targets is a strategic activity that typically involves broader financial planning and market analysis, rather than the detailed cost analysis provided by a process cost summary.

Conclude that the correct answer is the option that does not align with the purpose of a process cost summary: Setting company-wide sales targets for the next fiscal year.
