Question 11 • TX-US History Studies Since 1877 B-Credit Recovery Summer School

How do US businesses use low transportation costs to save money on manufacturing?

Answer
A
They can have goods made abroad and shipped home for sale.
B
They can transport foreign workers to American factories cheaply.
C
They can find needed resources in only the United States.

Explanation

Low transportation costs make it less expensive to move products across long distances. US businesses can have goods manufactured in countries where production costs are lower, then ship those goods to the United States for sale. This supports choice A; transporting foreign workers to US factories is not the main way businesses use low shipping costs.
