Ah, the joys of accounting. A and B are spot on, but C and D seem a bit questionable. And E? That's just asking for a factory meltdown. Maybe the manager should try juggling chainsaws instead - probably safer!

Haha, this manager must be really desperate to cut costs if they're looking into this throughput stuff. A and B are solid, but C and D sound a bit off. And E? Come on, that's just asking for trouble. Gotta keep the balance, you know?

Hmm, this is tricky. I think A and B are definitely true, but I'm not sure about C and D. Stocking up on inventory can be helpful, and fixed costs aren't the whole story. E is just plain silly - you can't ignore bottlenecks, that's the whole point of throughput accounting!

Ah, I see - throughput accounting is all about maximizing efficiency, not just mindlessly producing. A and B sound spot on, but C and E seem a bit extreme. Gotta balance inventory and capacity, you know?
