    Hello sir..

    Session from Throughput.My doubt is why they did TPAR using Optimum contribution (80×1200)/80000 instead of taking TpAR=(Contribution/LF)/ (FC per hour). ($80/8 hrs)/(80000). Please advise.

    The throughput contribution per hour is the throughout per unit divided by the hours per unit.

    For X the throughput per unit is 150 – 70 = $80.
    The hours per unit are 1/1,200 (since they are making 1,200 per hour).

    Therefore the throughput contribution per hour = 80 / (1/1200) = $96,000.

    (And think about it, if they are making $80 contribution per unit and they are making 1,200 units per hour, then the total throughout contribution per hour has to be 1,200 x $80 = $96,000.)
