    In a question, it asks if the statement is true or false for the below:

    The causes of the planning variances should not be investigated immediately by the operational manager in Maple Co for which the answer is false.

    The answer stated that planning variances are not the responsibility of operational managers, therefore there is no need for operational managers to immediately investigate their causes.

    I am confused because the answer is saying the same thing as the statement so why is the answer false? Could you please clarify this? Thank you.

    I assume you are using the BPP Revision Kit, and in the question the word ‘not’ should not appear in the second statement.

    This then does mean that the statement is false, and the explanation given is then correct.
