Answer:

C. Order placement costs would increase

Explanation:

Order placement costs are those incurred when ordering a product: for example, the wages of the employees who place the orders, the shipping costs, the cost of tariffs and duties in case the products are imported from abroad, and any other specific costs associated with the process of getting the product from the source to the firm.

If a company chooses not to hold inventory, order placement costs will increase in the moment that they get an order for the good which is not in stock, simply because the good will have to be ordered.

Tatiana [17]

I think he felt that skin was attributable to climate and did not affect one's intelligence, character and personality so he was not a racist. While areas of the world like Latinamerica and Africa for example have many people with brown or black skin, they are every much as capable as people from more northern climates with white skin. The fact that, for example the Latin american areas had advanced civilizations like the Incas and Aztecs, the former with 1000's of kilometers of roads tying their empires together and the Aztecs with their monumental temples and both with advanced agriculture based on astronomical observations shows this is the case.
