I'm just hoping the exam question doesn't ask us to juggle ice sculptures. That would be a real 'meltdown' of a question.

This is a classic case of 'work smarter, not harder'. Throughput accounting is the way to go, instead of just blindly producing.

E is false. Throughput accounting is all about identifying and managing the bottleneck, not maximizing capacity everywhere.

I think option C is true too. Stocking up on inventory ties up cash that could be used elsewhere.

That's a good point, Devora. Option B does make sense in the context of throughput accounting.

I believe option B is also true because not all sales contribute to profit.

A, B, and C are definitely true. Throughput accounting focuses on maximizing throughput, not minimizing costs. No point in producing if there's no demand.
