Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The costs associated with bottling wine is a direct cost that Sally can control as she oversees the production and bottling processes. The other options are not directly controllable by Sally as they involve external factors such as advertising or export regulations. Obtaining finance from banks is a financial cost and not directly related to production or bottling.
