Compute the manufacturing product cost per unit of each type of CD rack. 2. Suppose that premanufacturing activities, such as product design, were assigned to the standard CD racks at $4 each and to the unfinished racks at $3 each. Similar analyses were conducted of postmanufacturing activities such as distribution, marketing, and cus- tomer service. The postmanufacturing costs were $18 per standard rack and $13 per unfinished rack. 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 MacArthur's managers set for unfinished racks to earn a unit profit of $15?
