The answer in BPP is wrong.
All of the choices will effect the throughput accounting ratio.

Reducing machine time per unit will affect returns per hour and cost per hour in same proportion, and so will not affect TPAR. Remeber, TPAR=Return per factory hour ÷ Factory cost per hour. Does it help? Plz let me know.
