Question

The transportation cost of casting is generally less as compared to the cost of mechanization.

(a) True

(b) False

I got this question during a job interview.

This is a very interesting question from Mechanization in chapter Foundry Mechanizations of Casting-Forming-Welding I

Answer 1

Right option is (b) False

To explain: It is very important for an organization to have the initial capital for implementing mechanization. But, even though a foundry through mechanization may produce a certain casting at a cheaper price and much of the price of casting is in the form of transportation cost from foundry to the place of use.
