    Hi sir
    Thank u so much for your lectures and notes.
    I am doing practice question from your notes and I am stuck in Q3 Genesis.
    Part B bottleneck hours per unit for R is 0.02 and for S 0.015.I don’t know how that came from.

    The time for R is 1.2 minutes, so with 60 minutes in an hour it means that it is 1.2/60 = 0.02 hours.

    Similarly the time for S is 0.9 minutes which is 0.9/60 = 0.0015 hours.

    Good day sir,
    Confused on this question 3 genesis as well for f5
    how was the contribution per bottleneck hour calculated? r $1500 and s $1733.
    Thanks for your help.

    It is the contribution per unit divided by the hours per unit!

    The contribution for R is $30 per unit (60 – 2 – 28).
    The hours for R are 0.02 per unit (as per my previous reply).

    Therefore the contribution per hour is 30/0.02 = $1,500

    (same workings for S)

    (Do appreciate that part (b) is using contributions. It is part (c) that wants you to use throughput)

    You must start a new thread because this has nothing to do with throughput accounting.

    I am sorry, but I do not have the BPP text book and so I cannot help you.
