Answers should include the following points.
(1) Companies need to weight both the cost of shipping, the speed required, and any special considerations such as the perishability of the product.
(2) If speed is not critical, lower cost methods such as waterway and pipeline may be used.
(3) If speed is critical, air transport may be used but it is the most costly.
(4) Railroad and motor carrier are intermediate in speed and cost.
(5) In many cases, a combination of methods may be used.
