PMTHROUGHPUT ACCOUNTING RATIO

LLoyce10y ago
Hello, while using the BPP revision kit, there was a certain question I didn’t quite understand. MCQ BANK 1 MN manufactures automated industrial trolleys, known as TRLs. Each TRL sells for $2000 and the material cost per unit is $800. There is no limit to sales demand. Costs next year will be $264,000 for factory labour, $834,000 for production overheads, and $265,000 for marketing and administrative costs. In the answers, when calculating costs per factory hour, they added up $264,000 and $834,000 but left out $265,000. Is there a particular reason for this?

Yes - we are only concerned with factory costs (and factory costs are costs within the factory - i.e. costs of producing).

I do not know which question you are referring to (and this has nothing to do with throughput accounting - please start a new thread when are you asking about a new topic).
