    Hi John,

    I hope that you are keeping well.

    Could you please help me with the below? In Dec 13 Q2 section a) cost per factory hour is
    12 000 000/2700hours (12x5x50x90% hours).

    Could you please tell me where the 90% is coming from? I can see that below in the question they say that Machine C is 85% utilised and Machine M and A are 90% . Does that matter for the above calcs?

    This is probably something very simple but I just cannot get my head around it.

    Thank you very much!

    Paula

    Hi John,

    Sorry but actually I think know what the 90% relates to. Because Machine M is the bottleneck resource we need to take into account that is only 90% utilised.
