Paper 1 · November 2020 · warehousing
Which of the following is a type of warehouse used by business enterprises?
AA retail counter where customers are served with small orders
BA repair workshop where damaged equipment is put back to use
CA design office where new product drawings are prepared
DA bonded warehouse holding imported goods before duty is paid
Explanation
Warehouses are classified by who owns them and what they hold, so bonded, public, private, cold storage and distribution warehouses are all recognised types. A bonded warehouse stores dutiable imports until the importer pays the duty, which eases cash flow. A counter, a workshop and a design office all perform other functions.
