A case received for shipment has the markings shown in illustration D043DG below. Each carton measures 13" X 15" X 23". What is the total cubic capacity the entire consignment will occupy if you assume 10% broken stowage?

Correct Answer: Option B — 857 cubic feet (24 cubic meters)

Multiply the carton dimensions (13" x 15" x 23") by the total number of units to find baseline cubic volume, then divide by 1728 to convert to cubic feet, and add a 10% broken stowage allowance to yield 857 cubic feet.
