    It is page 58 of the bpp text example 3.1…to derive at the profit , the writer calculated throughput by multiplying the total hours by the throughput per hour…..on OT to calculate total throughput we multiply the allocated units by tge throughput per hour…..therefore i woyld like to know which one is correct.or am i missing something?

    Nowhere in our lectures or lecture notes do we multiply the units by the throughput per hour – it would be nonsense.

    You either multiply the hours by the throughput per hour, or you multiple the units by the throughput per unit. Both will always give the same answer.
