    Kaplan Kit Mcq

    A company has recently adopted throughput accounting as a performance measurement tool
    its results for the last month are as follows

    Units produced 1150
    Units Sold 800
    Material Purchased 900 kgs @$13000
    Material used 450 =kgs @ $7250
    Labor costs $6900
    Oveheads $4650
    Sales price $35

    Throughput=800*35-13000=15000

    IF THERE ARE HOURS , FOR FINDING RETURN PER HOUR WE DIVIDE THROUGHPUT PER UNIT WITH PRODUCTS TIME ON BOTTLENECK RESOURCE TIME

    CAN WE DIVIDE THROUGHPUT WITH MATERIAL USAGE PER UNIT SOLD? TO FIND RETURN PER KG

    HOW CAN WE FIND THROUGHPUT ACCOUNTING RATIO IN THIS CASE ?
    I AM CONFUSED?

    HOW TO APPLY COST PER FACTORY HOUR FORMULA HERE?

    THANKS!

    Please do not type in capital letters 🙂

    I do not have the Kaplan Kit (only the BPP Kit), but are you sure that you have copied the whole of the question correctly? If you have, then there is a fault with the question because it is impossible to answer on the information given.

    Thanks sir, yes i have copied the complete question

    As I wrote before, it is therefore a faulty question from Kaplan!!
