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.
