Ask the Tutor ACCA PM
throughput accounting
11y ago#1Because of the limited hours we are only able to produce less than the demand.
With normal key factor analysis, producing less earns less revenue, but also saves on all the variable costs.
With throughput accounting, we earn less revenue, but the only cost saved is that of materials.
So we save less cost and therefore make less profit.
Thank you.beautifully explained.
