    The management accountant has calculated that the slack for material is 500 kg per week.

    What does a slack of 500 kg per week for material x represent?

    A. The quantity of material x that is available each week.
    B. The excess of material x available over production needs.

    1. The answer is B
    2. Could you explain why what’s wrong with A?

    The material available is the total available. They will be using some of it for production – the slack is the amount that is available but that they are not using.
