}Service costing is a form of continuousoperation costing. The output from a service industry differs from manufacturing for the following four reasons:
1.Intangibility – the output is in the formof ‘performance’ rather than tangible or touchable goods or products.
2.Heterogeneity – the nature and standardof the service will be variable due to the high human input.
3.Simultaneous production and consumption –the service that you require cannot be inspected in advance of receiving it.
4.Perishability –the services that you require cannot be stored.
