When planning,the goal of all firms in the supply chain should be to maximize supply chain profits because

A) this leaves them less profit to divide among themselves.
B) this leaves them more profit to divide among themselves.
C) this outcome leaves them more profit to pay tax on.
D) this outcome will increase their charitable giving.

Maximizing supply chain profits means that each member of the chain is performing efficiently and effectively. This results in more profit for the entire supply chain, which can be divided among the members of the chain. Therefore, choice B is correct. Choice A is incorrect because maximizing supply chain profits does not leave them less profit to divide. Choice C is incorrect as paying taxes is not the goal of firms in the supply chain. Choice D is incorrect because increasing charitable giving is not the main goal of firms in the supply chain.
