1-3 A product cost is any cost involved in ij ij ij ij ij ij ij



purchasing or manufacturing goods. In the

caseof manufactured goods, these costs consist

of direct materials, direct labor, and

1-14 No, differential costs can be either ij ij ij ij ij



variable or fixed. For example, the alternatives
