Question

When new coke was introduced, it failed miserably in the market. after removing it from its product line, what did coca-cola most likely do with the capacity devoted to producing this product?

Answer 1

The answer is:  Shift the excess capacity to the production of other soft-drink products

The capacity to the production would most likely become a fixed-cost for the company. Meaning that it would cost the company the same to maintain it whether it is used or not.

So, the better option for coca cola is to use this capacity to increase the production of their other successful product rather than letting it left unused.

Answer 2

The correct option is this: COCA COLA WILL SHIFT THE EXCESS CAPACITY TO THE PRODUCTION OF OTHER SOFT DRINK PRODUCTS.
The capacity that was devoted to the failed drink will be diverted towards the production of other soft drinks that the Coca cola company is manufacturing.
