Answer: B. Economies of Scale.

Explanation:

ECONOMIES OF SCALE is a situation where costs are reduced because production rises. This is usually the case with larger firms because they are able to produce more goods which translates to the fall of their cost per good.

For example, a firm has fixed costs of $3000 regardless of if they produce 10 products or 100. If they produce only 10 then it's $300 per product in cost as opposed to producing 100 which is $30 per product in cost. The problem is that only larger firms could be able to produce above 10 goods.

The Houston based funeral house is considered a GIANT so they are probably benefitting from ECONOMIES OF SCALE.

Explain the KISS principle. Give an example of an actual situation where the KISS principle was ignored and the resulting conseq
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

The KISS principle.

Keep It Simple, Stupid.

Explanation:

The KISS principle states that most systems work best if they are kept simple (not simpler) rather than if they are made complicated. That is to say that, simplicity should be the most important thing (key goal) in design, and unnecessary complexity should be avoided.

For example to persuade someone, use simple and clear language rather than complex big grammar(erudition). Use words that people will easily understand. Keep sentences short and straight to the point. Use straightforward sentence construction. If speaking to a group, speak so the person least likely to understand that way you would use the simplest of languages, thus making it possible for everyone to understand you.

An example of where the KISS principle was ignored:

A politician who wants to reform both tax and local services, and use the message, 'You pay your tax, we alleviate your poverty'.

Consequences: People may not comply because they don't understand what alleviation of poverty means.

An Example of where the KISS principle was followed and its consequences:

A marketer that works to find a simple message for promoting toothpaste and might come up with 'For a cleaner, brighter, happier life'.

Consequences: He will have more sells and more customers because everyone understands what he is talking about.
