Respected Tutor, Sir i have a general doubt related to throughput account ratio(TPAR) why is it calcuated as throughput per factor hr/factory cost per factory hour and not as Throughput per factory hr- factory cost per factory hr? In simple words why are we using a division operation when we could do we away with subtraction. Both of them will essentially tell us whether or not there is a profit per factory hour Regards,

Simply because that is the standard way and why it is called a ratio!
