Inventory carrying costs? More like 'inventory carrying extra pounds' if you ask me. Those warehouse workers must be shredded!

Transportation costs, huh? I guess you could say the logistics of this question are a bit... transportational.

Supply management costs? Really? That's a new one on me. I'd be surprised if that's the biggest variable expense.

I'm going with warehouse operations costs. Have you seen the size of some of these distribution centers? The utility bills alone must be insane!

Hmm, I'd say inventory carrying costs. The cost of storing and maintaining all those products really adds up.

Transportation costs, without a doubt. I've seen how much my company spends on moving goods around. It's a massive expense!

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be A) Inventory carrying costs because holding excess inventory can be expensive.

I agree with Paris. Transportation costs can vary a lot depending on the distance and mode of transportation.
