主权项

1. A processing apparatus comprising:
an executing unit configured to execute a job received from a communication terminal; a charging unit configured to perform a charging process for one or more execution units of the job by the executing unit; a comparing unit configured to compare a charging time required for the charging process by the charging unit for one execution unit, with a processing time for the one execution unit of the job executed by the executing unit; and a determining unit configured to determine a number of execution units for the charging process which is performed at one time by the charging unit, based on the comparison by the comparing unit, wherein in a case where, as a result of the comparison by the comparing unit, the charging is longer than the processing time, the determining unit determines a plurality of execution units as the number of execution units and the charging unit executes the charging process corresponding to the plurality of execution units at one time.
