Undeterred, you leverage your passion for electronics by making custom crystal radio sets in your parents' garage. Getting the sets to your customers is another matter; you are averaging about five orders a week, which matches your production capacity.

A.

private logistics system.

B.

contract carrier.

C.

3PL.

D.

common carrier

Explanation / Answer

since the order quantity is small with 5 units per week, it does not make sense to go into a contract carrier. private logistics system would require a lot of investment of its own hence not recommended. 3PL also requires huge quantities to work with. Hence common carrier is the best option where a person or a company agrees to pre determined rates to transport the goods.
