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.

1 Kg = 2.2046 pounds what will be the answer in round to nearest tenth 4550 pounds = ______ kg
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

2063.9 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

<u>1 kg = 2.2046 pounds</u>

This can also be written as:

<u>1 pound = 1/2.2046 kg</u>

We have to calculate the value of 4550 pounds in kg up to nearest 10th

Thus,

4550 pounds= \frac{4550}{2.2046} kg

Solving the above equation, we get:

4550 pounds = 2063.8664 kg

Rounding the above result to nearest tenth as:

<u>4550 pounds = 2063.9 kg</u>

Please answer it correctly and please show work please help me I need it
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

the equation is

y = 0.75x

And,  the constant of proportionality is 0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Given that

4y = 3x

And,

12y = 9x

Here the equation that represent proportional relationship is

4y = 3x

Divide both sides by 4

y = 3x ÷ 4

Now

12y = 9x

divides both sides by 12

y = 9 ÷ 12x

y = 3 ÷ 4x

y = 0.75x

so the equation is

y = 0.75x

And,  the constant of proportionality is 0.75
