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.

There is a lightning rod on top of a building. From a location 500 feet from the base of the building, the angle of elevation to

Kitty [74]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The height of the lightning rod is 27.4 feet.

To solve the problem, we need to use the given information about the two points of observation, since both are related (both finish and start at the same horizontal distance) we need to write to equations in order to establish a relationship.

So, writing the equations we have:

We know that the angle of elevation from the base of the buildings is 36°

Also, we know that from the same location, the angle of elevation to the top of the lightning rod is 38°.

Using the information we have:

To the top of the building:

$tan(\alpha )=\frac{DistanceToTheTopOfTheBuilding}{BuildingBase}\\\\tan(36\°)=\frac{DistanceToTheTopOfTheBuilding}{BuildingBase}$

To the top of the lightning rod:

$tan(\alpha )=\frac{DistanceToTheTopOfTheLightningRod}{BuildingBase}\\\\tan(38\°)=\frac{DistanceToTheTopOfTheLightningRod}{BuildingBase}$

Now, isolating we have:

$tan(36\°)=\frac{DistanceToTheTopOfTheBuilding}{BuildingBase}\\\\DistanceToTheTopOfTheBuilding=tan(36\°)*BuildingBase \\\\DistanceToTheTopOfTheBuilding=tan(36\°)*500feet=363.27feet$

Also, we have that:

$tan(38\°)=\frac{DistanceToTheTopOfTheLightningRod}{BuildingBase}\\\\DistanceToTheTopOfTheLightningRod=tan(38\°)*BuildingBase\\\\DistanceToTheTopOfTheLightningRod=tan(38\°)*500feet=390.64feet$

Therefore, if we want to calculate the height of the lightning rod, we need to do the following:

Let "x" the distance to the top of the building and "y" the distance to the top of the lightning rod, so:

$LightningRodHeight=y-x=390.64feet-363.27feet=27.37feet$

Rounding to the nearest foot, we have:

$LightningRodHeight=y-x=390.64feet-363.27feet=27.37feet=27.4feet$

Hence, the answer is:

The height of the lightning rod is 27.4 feet.

Have a nice day!
