What is the return/factory hour in throughput accounting environment
Ask the Tutor ACCA PM
revision mock question
Is the answer $210
how do i calculate it
The throughput is 30 - 9 = 21 per unit.
The hours per unit are 6/60 = 0.1 hours
So the return per factory hour (or throughput per hour) is 21 / 0.1 = $210
(I suggest that you watch the free lecture on throughput accounting!)
