    USING THROUGHPUT

    If question ask me to prepare pay off table using the throughput accounting then how should i prepare it because fixed cost are normally given in total….????

    should i 1st calculate the total throughput for the each decision and then deduct the total factory cost from the throughput to prepare payoff table

    i just trying to be sure what i am thinking is correct,sir

    Is there any possibility of combining Target costing and Risk and Uncertainty (payoff table,expected value)

    A,B,C three production decision option

    A : selling price $20, target profit 20%, expected value is $18
    B : selling price $25, target profit 20%, expected value is $21
    C : selling price $30, target profit 20%, expected value is $29

    and suppose question says company can only produce 1 of this product

    demand and probability:

    A : Demand 3000,2000,1000 probability 0.2, 0.3, 0.5
    B : Demand 2500,2000,1500 probability 0.3, 0.3, 0.4
    C : Demand 3500,1800,1200 probability 0.1, 0.7, 0.2

    Requirement : How do i Calculate this following things

    1) Prepare a payoff table( should i use “target profit” or “selling price – expected cost” to prepare payoff table)

    2) Is decision’s are to be taken based on expected values or maximin or maximax or minimax regret

    You would not get pay-off tables combined with target costing or with life-cycle costing.

    Also, if you are asked for decision making under uncertainty you would always be told which of the criteria to use for making the decision.
