There is no point in typing out a full question and expecting to be provided with a full answer. You must have an answer in the same book in which you found the question, so ask about whatever it is in the answer that you are not clear about and then I will explain. Everything needed to be able to answer this question is explained in my free lectures on throughput accounting. The lectures are a complete free course for Paper PM and cover everything needed to be able to pass the exam well.
