    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.
