Just a reminder, total stock might actually decrease with fewer centers.

I think B is misleading, costs can drop in both areas.

I vaguely remember something about total stock levels increasing with fewer centers, but that doesn't seem to fit with the transport cost options.

I feel like the answer has to be about transport costs decreasing, but I can't decide if it's just from the factory to the centers or also to customers.

I remember a practice question where we discussed how fewer distribution centers could lead to increased efficiency, but I can't recall if that means costs go down everywhere.

Wait, I'm confused about the amortization of intangible assets. I'll have to double-check that.
