    A question on throughput indicated that discounts on the selling price is very common. In calculating the throughput/unit why is the discount also deducted from the selling price as well, after all we only consider material costs only.

    This was in a Kaplan Revision Kit

    The throughput return is the selling price less the material costs.

    If there is a discount given, then the selling price is lower.

    Think about contribution to CVP approach. Very common.

    Gnom71: Again – please do not answer in this forum. (And this time your answer makes no sense – this is throughput accounting and CVP has nothing at all to do with it 🙂 )

    Got the message:)

    I meant that throughput is very common with marginal contribution ( which is used for CVP analysis)

    But be careful – the definition of the throughput return is different from the definition of contribution. Key factor analysis is more common in the exam than throughput accounting, and key factor analysis uses the contribution.
