Shipping costs? What is this, a riddle? Next thing you know, they'll be asking if the cost of the warehouse itself is a carrying cost. Let's keep it simple, folks!

Shipping costs? Really? That's like saying the cost of buying the inventory in the first place is a carrying cost. Come on, this is basic inventory management stuff!

Hmm, I'm not too sure about this one. Isn't shipping a cost associated with maintaining the inventory? I'll have to think about this one a bit more.

I disagree, I believe the correct answer is C) Cost of obsolescence because it is not directly related to carrying the inventory.

Haha, this is easy! Shipping costs are definitely not a carrying cost. That's just the cost of getting the goods in the first place. The real carrying costs are the ones that keep the inventory on the shelves.

Well, clearly the shipping costs are not a carrying cost. I mean, that's just the cost of getting the inventory to the warehouse, right?
