Bottleneck activity : Question: Sweet Treats Bakery makes three types of cake: brownies, muffins and cupcakes. The costs,  revenues and demand for each of the three cakes are as follows..... My question : While calculating the bottleneck process the batch size for Brownies should be =140/40 = 3.5 batches ..however they have taken 4 ? Can you please explain why did they do so ?

Because the question says that they must be produced in their batch sizes. So they cannot make 0.5 of a batch.
