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.

B. decision styles are consistent among top managers
Explanation:
Decision making styles differ between managers. Many managers exercise autocratic style which is authoritative wherein very limited inputs from the subordinates are taken and there is little scope for constructive advises.

Managerial decision making methods differ from manager to manager and are an outcome of managers own judgement and demeanor.
Hence it is evident from above points that decision styles are not consistent among top managers.

Answer:
false
Explanation:
The Coase theorem states that parties in dispute should seek an optimal solution to their problem regardless of how property rights were initially distributed.
In this case, you need to find an agreement that satisfies both Darnell and Jacques regardless of who initially would have been considered to be right about the argument. Conflicts over rights to use property can be solved when parties settle on the efficient use of inputs. E.g. they could establish hours at which Darnell can listen to rock n' roll, and other hours when he shouldn't. That way both of them can enjoy the music they like and not bother the neighbors.
An optimal solution can always be reached regardless of initial distribution of rights.
