    throuput was a theory question right?

    Yes – In fact I just remembered one that said was it useful in a highly automated manufacturing environment or something like that?

    I can’t remember if there were any more on throughput.

    No, in one department there was the current ROI higher.

    Yes.the northern department of 16% it was greater than the target Roi of 15%

    The southern department was 19% less than the target Roi of 22% therefore it will be rejected

    I marked the option with both northern and southern because we were not given with targeted roi by head office and there was not much difference in both roi. So i marked that both of them should be continued forward.

    Throughput is only useful for short term both question that involve longterm are incorrect

    Option A is the answer that talk about short term automated machine

    I also followed such logic but above guys said also a reasonable points about both of them to be continued.i was confused on which answer to stop.

    I had the same answers. Differential & opportunity cost for relevant costing and for the other ERPS was the correct.

    It was a relevant cost question. Only serento the middle chair should not be sold.

    Only the attributed fixed cost is relivant

    If we would have discontinued both the end depts then dept A would have to bear both of the fixed costs & this would have occured greater loss than continuing both depts. I marked that no one should be stopped.

    Does anyone know the tricks of the life-cycle and target costing questions? I calculated, and there wasnt my result. I thought these would be easy! 😀

    Those two questions are the trick for f5 exam. Both question I choose C. 800 for life cycle cost and 11042 unit for target cost

    I put that the last chair should not be sold. I remember thinking general fixed costs aren’t relevant yes but at the same time, each product was allocated a part of the general fixed cost to bear. I working out the total general fixed costs across all three plus the attributed fixed costs for the first chair and the second chair because if they stopped any chair the contribution of the other would need to cover the fixed costs. I worked out that both fixed costs types would still be covered by the contributions from both the first and second if they got rid of the last chair.

    Ah well.
