    The following information is available for a single product:
    Units produced 500
    Time taken 200 hours
    Maximum time available 200 hours
    Materials purchased 1,000 kg costing $3,000
    Materials used 800 kg
    Labour costs $2,000
    Overheads $1,500
    Sales $9,000.

    What is the throughput accounting ratio for this product?

    1. The answer is 1.70
    2. Material purchased rather than material used has been used to calculate throughput.
    – Could you explain why?

    Because we should use the material purchased. (Throughput does assume no inventories of material are held and so in a ‘perfect world’ the material used and purchased would be the same anyway)

    However it is a minor point and unlikely to be relevant in the exam.
