Question 583 Deck General

The correct answer is B) 857 cubic feet (24 cubic meters). To calculate the total cubic capacity of the consignment, we need to find the volume of each carton and then multiply it by the number of cartons, accounting for 10% broken stowage. Given information: - Each carton measures 13" x 15" x 23" - 10% broken stowage Step 1: Calculate the volume of each carton. Volume of each carton = 13" x 15" x 23" = 4,495 cubic inches Step 2: Convert the volume to cubic feet. Volume of each carton = 4,495 cubic inches / 1,728 cubic inches per cubic foot = 2.6 cubic feet Step 3: Calculate the total volume of the consignment, accounting for 10% broken stowage. Total volume = (Number of cartons x Volume of each carton) / (1 - 0.1) Total volume = (330 cartons x 2.6 cubic feet) / 0.9 = 857 cubic feet The other options are incorrect because: A) 779 cubic feet (22 cubic meters) is too low. C) 1,047 cubic feet (30 cubic meters) is too high. D) 112,125 cubic feet (3,173 cubic meters) is significantly too high and does not align with the given information.
