1-1 The three major types of product costs in

a manufacturing company are direct materials,

direct labor, and manufacturing overhead.

direct proportion to changes in volume.

costs arise from annual decisions by

1-14 No, differential costs can be either mm mm mm mm mm
variable or fixed. For example, the alternatives
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
might consist of purchasing one machine rather

than another to make a product. The difference

between the fixed costs of purchasing the two
mm mm mm mm mm mm mm mm
machines is a differential cost.
