    Q73: We know that the bottleneck process is expected to be working for 8 hours a day.

    We know how long each product takes to make – X takes 1/1,200 hours; Y takes 1/1,500 hours; Y takes 1/600 hours.

    Therefore we can calculate how many hours the actual production should take:

    (6,000 x 1/1,200) + (4,500 x 1/1,500) + (1,200 x 1/600) = 10 hours.

    Therefore the efficiency of the process is 10/8 = 125%

    Q75: The factory costs are $80,000 per hour.

    The throughput contribution per hour for X is 1,200 x 80 = $96,000
    Therefore the TPAR for X is 96,000 / 80,000 = 1.20

    It is the same workings for the other two products.
