Hah! Looks like the manager needs to brush up on their Throughput Accounting knowledge. D and E are totally off base. This exam is a real 'ice' breaker, isn't it?

I agree with A and B, but C is a bit harsh. Stocking up can be necessary in some cases, but it needs to be managed carefully. D and E are tricky, I'm not sure about those.

Yeah, I'm not sure about all costs being considered fixed either.

I think A and B make sense. No demand means no need to produce, right?

I believe option D is also true. Throughput accounting focuses on material costs and considers other costs as fixed.

A, B, and C are definitely true. Throughput Accounting is all about maximizing profit, not just production. Stocking up on inventory is a waste of resources.
