Dear John,
The MCQ tests the definition of ToC by asking one to complete: “The theory of constraints is an approach to production management, which aims to maximise sales revenue less…”
I selected option C – Material costs as throughput; however, the answer per the textbook is D – Materials and variable overhead costs.
Is D not more true of Limiting Factor Analysis?
I am sorry but I do not have the BPP Study Text and so I can’t really help you. It does sound as though what you say is correct but without checking the whole question I cannot be certain.
Thank you, John.
I will try to contact BPP directly to seek clarification and revert back.
Have a great Easter.

“Hi Mishern,
Thank you for your emails.
Please accept my apologies for the two errors which you have identified. Our products do pass through strict technical checking and quality control processes but unfortunately, particularly when producing material to tight deadlines, errors occasionally slip through. I understand that any error can cause confusion and disrupt study and I am sorry about this.
I have created an errata sheet for publication on our website, and I am attaching this draft version for your information. The final version will appear on our website shortly.
Thank you for bringing these errors to our attention.”
The errata sheet is available at https://www.bpp.com/about-bpp/aboutBPP/StudentInfo.
