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.

Joe decided to start washing cars on his street. The other kids in the neighborhood noticed Joe was making a lot of money washing cars and decided to open their own car wash. When they opened their own car wash, the equilibrium price decreased and the equilibrium quantity increased.

The price at which the quantity provided and demanded are equal is referred to as the equilibrium price. It is established by where the demand and supply curves cross. If more goods or services are produced than are needed to satisfy demand at the going rate, there is a surplus, which pushes prices lower.

Reduced demand will result in a drop in the equilibrium price and a reduction in supply. With everything else remaining constant, an increase in supply will result in a decrease in the equilibrium price and an increase in the amount required. The equilibrium price will increase as the supply declines, while the quantity needed will go down.
