Answer: a. Railroad loading

Explanation:

This question relates to the BCG matrix which allows a company with multiple divisions to know how to deal with its various divisions based on their growth rate and market share.

The question specifically relates to a matrix called "Cash cows". Cash cows are divisions that have a significant market share but a low growth rate. These divisions are stable and bring more money into the company than they cost to run.

This allows us to take profits from them and invest in other. The Railroad loading controls a significant market share of 75% but has a low growth rate so is a Cash cow.

Presented below are incomplete manufacturing cost data.
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the missing amount is as follows

As we know that

Total manufacturing costs is

= Direct materials cost + Direct labor cost + Factory overhead  cost

And,

Cost of goods manufactured is

= Total manufacturing costs + Beginning work in process - ending work in process

Based on this, the calculation is as follows

  <u> Direct materials Direct labor Factory       Total</u>

<u>                                                       overhead  manufacturing costs </u>

1. $44,000               $62,200     $51,100        $157,300

2. $78,500             $77,500     $144,000       $300,000

3. $58,600            $138,400     $114,000       $311,000

Now

<u>  Total Manufacturing Costs Beg. Work   End. Work  Cost of Goods </u>

<u>                                               in Process  in Process  Manufactured </u>

1. $157,300                           $122,000     $85,200      $194,100

2. $300,000                         $123,400        $99,800     $323,600

3. $311,000                            $465,000       $57,000     $719,000

laiz [17]

Answer:

3,000,000 juicers

Explanation:

<em>Maximum numbers per workstation in 30 days: </em>

Exterior construction = 100,000*30 = 3,000,000

Pulp filter = 25,000*24/6*30 = 3,000,000

Painting = 3,000*24/0.5*30 = 4,320,000

Packaging = 5,000*24*30 = 3,600,000.

The lowest of the numbers above is 3,120,000 and that means that Bryan inc. can manufacture 3,000,000 juicers.
