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.

This looks like a tricky networking question. I'll need to carefully review the scenario and exhibit to understand the issue with the dynamic tunnels.

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