1. Compute the manufacturing product cost per unit for each type of bookcase.
2. Suppose that premanufacturing activities, such as product design, were assigned to the standard bookcase were assigned to the standard bookcases at $6 each and to the unfinished bookcases at $3 each. Similar analyses were conducted of postmanufacturing activities such as distribution, marketing and customer service. The postmanufacturing costs were $19 per standard bookcase and $15 per unfinished bookcase. Compute the full product costs per unit.
3. Which product costs are reported in the external financial statements? Which costs are used for management decision making? Explain the difference.
4. What price should Johnston's managers set for unfinished bookcases to earn a unit profit of $16?
