1. Compute the unit manufacturing cost of Type A and Type B storage cabinets by using the company's current overhead costing
procedures.
2. Compute the unit manufacturing cost of Type A and Type B storage cabinets by using activity-based costing.

manufacturing overhead to production? By how much?
4. Assume that the current selling price of a Type A storage cabinet is $360.00 and the marketing manager is contemplating a $40
discount to stimulate volume. Is this discount advisable?
