    For the following question, I do not understand why conversion cost is not put into consideration.

    Question #38 :

    A manufacturing company uses machine C, which is operational for five hours a day to manufacture four products: W, X, Y and Z. Factory costs are $150,000 per day. The company uses throughput accounting and its objective is to maximize profits.

    Information relating to these products is as follows:

    Products——-Production rate per machine hour (units)
    —–W——————————–200
    —–X———————————500
    —–Y———————————400
    —–Z———————————350

    Selling Price per unit—-Material cost per unit—–Conversion cost per unit
    ———-$350————————–$120—————————-$40
    ———-$190————————–$95——————————$25
    ———-$270————————–$160—————————-$20
    ———-$215————————–$75——————————$35

    If the company is not able to increase the availability of machine C’s
    operational hours, what is the production ranking of product Y?

    Options:
    A. First
    B. Second
    C. Third
    D. Forth

    The correct answer is D (fourth)

    ——————————————————————————-

    In the book it says that TPAR is not needed as they are all produced from same factory.
    I thought I should add the conversion cost to the factory cost of $150,000
    because each product would have different coversion cost per per hour.

    Is the conversion cost included in the factory cost of $150,000 ?

    Thank you !
