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.

Some say, "Pollution is the price of progress? 1. Who in fact pays the price? 2. Explain the moral and the economic issues raise
klemol [59]

Answer:The answer is 1 The people pays the price, 2. Industrialization improved the standard of living of the people and increase the country Gross domestic product 3. Economic progress is the increase in output, economic development is the equitable redistribution of produced goods and services, the government must put in place a body to ensure the control of pollution of the environment by the industries.

Explanation:

Industrialization is the policy of setting up several industries in a country.it is regard as the surest way to the economic development of a country. It one of the real sector of the economy which can quickly facilitate the economic development. The process of industrialization as good as it is has a negative effect on the environment through the environmental pollution, pollution is the process of releasing harmful and injurious chemicals into the environment by the the industries which may result in a serious health and environmental hazard such as cancer, heart disease, and damage to other vital organs of the body .Therefore, the people is the one paying the price of the effect of pollution on the environment where they live.

The moral issue raised by the assertion is that industrialization is capable of bringing the people out of poverty in the sense that the major causes of poverty in the society is the lack of unemployment, therefore industrialization provide jobs for the people which help in improving their standard of living., and in turn lift them out of poverty into the life of affluence. On the other hand, industrilization is capable of improving the economic development of the country. It is one of the major ways to increase the country's Gross domestic product of the country, it help in raising the national incomes of the country..it also helps in the increase in the level of productivity of the economy. It increase the level of investment in the nation,it increases savings in the economy and help in reducing the prices of goods produced in the country.

The connection between economic progress and development is that, economic progress is the increase in the Gross domestic product or a national income of a country or the increase in the output of a country., for example if the national income of a country rises by 10% in a certain year we can say that the economy of such country has experienced a growth rate of 10% . On the other hand, if it falls by 5% we say that the country had experience a negative growth. While economic development is the attainment of a number of ideals of modernization such as a rise in productivity, social and economic equity improved institutions and values.economic development emphasises equitable distribution of produced goods and services which lead to increase in the social and economic well being of the people. Growth can be achieved with an increase in output but development can be achieved not only with increased output but also through equitable redistribution of existing goods and services. In the process of ensuring the economic progress and development it is very important to put in place a measure to control the effect of pollution on the environment by ensuring that industries channel their toxic waste appropriately in such a way that it will not lead to a serious health hazard of the people living in the environment where the industries is located. On the other hand, government should establish a body know as the environmental protection council who will be charged with the responsibility of ensuring that industries comply with the environmental laws put in place to protect the environment as well as to sanction the industries who fails to operate within the framework of the law.
