Alright, so if the uniform strip is x feet long, (1313-x) represents the width of the rug and 2222-x represents the length of the rug (given that the uniform strip is uniform all around the room) due to that the difference between the length of the room and the uniform strip is the rug because there is nothing else on the floor. 

Since the area is 112112 square feet, we get that (1313-x) *(2222-x) is the area of the rug which equals 112112. Multiplying it out, we get 
x^2-2222x-1313x+(1313*2222)=112112. Next, we get
x^2-3535x+2917486=112112, and we subtract 112112 from both sides to get x^2-3535x+2805374=0. Using the quadratic formula, we get 
(3535+-sqrt(3535^2-4*2805374))/2=either around 2332 or 1203. Since it can't be 2332 due to that 1313 is less than that and the rug cannot be negative in width, we get 1203 as the uniform width. 

The dimensions of the rug are 1313-1203=around 110 as the width and 2222-1203=around 119 feet

If a company issues bonus shares, what is the most likely effect on its debt-equity ratio?
Lena [83]

Answer:

If a company issues bonus shares, there will be no increase in the capital and the debt-equity ratio remains unchanged.

Step-by-step explanation:

Free additional shares offered to existing shareholders is known as a bonus issue.

Bonus issues are given to shareholders when companies are short of cash and shareholders expect a regular income. It may also be issued to restructure company reserves.

However, issuing bonus shares does not involve cash flow. It increases the company’s share capital but not its net assets.

Since bonus issues only increase the number of shares a shareholder is holding but not the ratio/percentage of holding. Thus, if a company issues bonus shares, there will be no increase in the capital and the debt-equity ratio remains unchanged.

A rhombus and a square have one and the same side of 6 cm. The area of the rhombus is 4/5 of the area of the square. Find the he
Arada [10]
You will find the area the square and then find out what 4/5 of that area is.

A = bh
     6 cm x 6 cm 
A = 36 square cm

4/5 of 36 square cm
4/5 x 36
28 4/5 square cm

The area of the rhombus is 28 4/5 square cm.  Use this to solve for the height of the rhombus.

A = bh
<u>28 4/5</u> = <u>6 x h</u>
6            6
h = 4 4/5 cm

The height of the rhombus is 4 4/5 cm.

aliina [53]

Answer:

C. The loss of economies of scale

By definition represent "the cost advantages that enterprises obtain due to their scale of operation, with cost per unit of output decreasing with increasing scale" and thats the corrct option since if we increase the order we have a lower price.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming the following options we analyze one by one to select the correct one

A. A move to minimum efficient scale

By definition the minimum efficient scale (MES) or efficient scale of production is "the lowest point where the plant can produce such that its long run average costs are minimized" but thats not the case since the department order new planes and the costs are not minimized .

B. The law of diminishing returns

The law of diminishing marginal returns says that "at some point, adding an additional factor of production results in smaller increases in output" but that's not the case since we don't have smaller increases in output.

C. The loss of economies of scale

By definition represent "the cost advantages that enterprises obtain due to their scale of operation, with cost per unit of output decreasing with increasing scale" and thats the corrct option since if we increase the order we have a lower price.

D. An increase in fixed cost

That's False since on this case we don't have a fixed cost, the cost on this case depend on the size of the order.
