Have you watched the lecture? (There is no point in using the course notes without the lectures - it is in the lectures that we work through the examples, explain what is happening, and expand on them.) Example 1 is conventional key factor analysis where we use contribution. Example 2 is throughput accounting where we assume that all costs are fixed with the exception of materials.
