Final answer:

Job costing is not appropriate for the mass production of identical products, such as carbonated beverages, but is suitable for unique, custom services or products.

Step-by-step explanation:

Job costing would not be appropriate for a Manufacturer of mass-produced carbonated beverages. Job costing is suitable for businesses where products or services are distinct and unique, such as an electrician, a law firm, or a manufacturer of custom-ordered production equipment.

In contrast, process costing is better for the continuous and homogenous production involved in manufacturing carbonated beverages, where the products are mass-produced and identical.
