The cost of insurance premiums on the three store buildings is not directly controllable by the grocery store manager. The manager can shop around for better rates and take steps to reduce risks, but ultimately the cost is set by the insurance company. The costs of advertising and distributing coupons, on the other hand, can be managed and adjusted by the manager based on their effectiveness and the store's budget.
