Q1.2 When machine time is a binding constraint on production output, which one of the following will have NO EFFECT on the throughput accounting ratio for a product that the machine is used to manufacture ?
A Obtaining a lower purchase price for materials for the product
B Reducing factory costs
C Reducing the machine time per unit to make the product
D Increasing the selling price of the product
Answer is C.
I don’t think it’s correct because : reducing the machine time per unit will make throughput per unit of machine time higher and no effect to factory cost per unit of machine time , so TPAR will be higher.
How do you think about that ? BPP makes a lot of mistakes in their books lately
Their answer is not correct.
There are a lot of mistakes in the edition that you have. Hopefully they will have removed them in the new edition.
