Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Obsolescent stock is stock, usually finished goods, which is in good condition and satisfactory working but for which demand is irreversibly falling towards zero. Once this demand reaches zero the stock can be considered 'obsolete'. It cannot be used or sold in its current state. Food ingredients (like candy canes) which are out of date are another example.

The number of forklifts needed is kind of a no-brainer. If you're storing heavy stuff, you're gonna need more forklifts. Although, I hear they can be pretty fun to race around the warehouse. Just saying.

I think the nature of the items to be stored is a crucial factor. You don't want to store highly flammable materials next to a daycare center, you know? Safety first!

The local authority bylaws and regulations are definitely important factors to consider when choosing a warehouse location. I mean, you don't want to end up with a bunch of forklifts running wild and breaking all the rules, right?
