Until recently, Amazon had just one fulfillment center in the Columbus area, carrying $50 million, in total, in cycle stock approximately.

However, Amazon opened another 3 fulfillment centers in the Columbus area in the past couple of years, so it currently has four fulfillment centers in the area.

These four fulfillment centers in the Columbus area may be carrying currently, in total, how much in cycle stock approximately?

Here’s how to think through the question about total cycle stock across Amazon’s Columbus area fulfillment centers.
Option 1: "$150 million". This would imply an average of about $37.5 million per center across four centers. Given the original center carried $50 million and three additional centers were added (presumably with similar stock levels to support fulfillment), $37.5 million per center is inconsistent with the starting point of $50 million and with adding more capacity.
Option 2: "$200 million". This aligns with the straightforward assumption that each center carries roughly $50 million in cycle stock. Starting from one center at $50 million and adding three more centers should reasonably add another $150 million, totaling $200 million across four centers. This matches the given data of four centers and the initial $50 million baseline.
Option 3: "$100 million". This would suggest an average of $25 million per center, which is far below the established baseline of $50 million for a single center and does not reflect the addition of three new centers.
Option 4: "$50 million". This would imply no growth in cycle stock despite opening three more fulfillment centers, which contradicts the fact that additional facilities typically increase total cycle stock to support higher throughput and inventory needs.
In summary, the reasoning relies on scaling the known baseline by the number of centers. Since there were four centers in total and each center is assumed to carry roughly the same cycle stock as the original, the total should be about four times $50 million, i.e., around $200 million. The other options conflict with the stated expansion from one to four centers and the logical expectation of proportional inventory across centers.
