In the theory of constraints and throughput accounting, which of the following methods may be used to?elevate the performance of a binding constraint??
(Method 1)? Acquire more of the resource that is the binding constraint?
(Method 2) Improve the efficiency of usage of the resource that is the binding constraint?
?ABC Company uses throughput accounting. Machine time is the current binding constraint on production?output, and management are looking for ways to increase the throughput accounting (TA) ratio for a product?that the machine is used to manufacture.?
Which of the following will have NO effect on the TA ratio??
This objective test question contains a question type which will only appear in a computer-based exam, but this question provides valuable practice for all students whichever version?of the exam they are taking.?
The ABC Company manufactures two products, Product Alpha and Product Beta. Both are?produced in a very labour-intensive environment and use similar processes. Alpha and Beta?differ by volume. Beta is a high-volume product, while Alpha is a low-volume product.?Details of product inputs, outputs and the costs of activities are as follows:?

Using activity-based costing, what is the budgeted overhead cost per unit of product D??
?A company uses activity-based costing to calculate the unit cost of its products. The figures?for Period 3 are as follows: production set-up costs are $84,000. Total production is 40,000?units of each of products A and B, and each run is 2,000 units of A or 5,000 units of B.?
What is the set-up cost per unit of B?
?This objective test question contains a question type which will only appear in a computer-based exam, but this question provides valuable practice for all students whichever version?of the exam they are taking.?
A company makes products A and B. It is experimenting with Activity Based Costing.?Production set-up costs are $12,000; total production will be 20,000 units of each of?products A and B. Each run is 1,000 units of A or 5,000 units of B.?
What is the set-up cost per unit of A, using ABC??
?Fill in the blanks.?The major ideas behind ABC are as follows.??
(a) Activities cause _____________?
(b) Producing products creates demand for the ?_____________
