Inventory carrying costs can add up too, but not as much as transport.

Transportation costs are usually the biggest variable expense in a logistics system, so I'm going to go with that option, B.

Okay, let me see. Variable costs are the ones that change with volume, right? So it's probably not the fixed costs like warehouse operations. Transportation seems like the most likely big variable expense. I'll go with B.

I think this is a pretty straightforward logistics question. The largest variable cost is usually transportation, so I'm going to go with B.

I'm a little confused on this one. I know inventory carrying costs can be high, but I'm not sure if that's the single largest variable cost. Maybe I should review my logistics notes again before deciding.

Ah, I see. The key is to identify the root cause and take the appropriate action. Restarting the application seems like the most logical first step here.

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.

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