Explanation:

• Question 10: Carrying inventory costs include storage, insurance, and labor for handling. Delivery to buyers is a distribution cost, not a carrying cost.
• Question 11: Customers get faster delivery. Companies buying from DCs may have lower transportation costs. The owning company can improve service and potentially reduce costs. Insurers don't directly benefit from DC location.

Answer:

• Question 10: the cost of actually delivering the inventory to buyers
• Question 11: customers, companies that buy from the distribution center, the company that owns the distribution center
