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.

After visiting her professors office, Rachel writes down everything she remembers seeing there. She correctly remembers many det
valkas [14]

Answer: Schemas

Explanation:

Rachel's situation fits in the memory concept of schemas. A schema can be defined as the framework that helps a person organize and interpret information.

Schemas can be very useful when a person needs to remember something, they are like that support or staff to continue with the process of interpretation to which people are subject through their experiences in the daily life.

While schemas can be positive they also have aspects that would not be so flattering. When a person relies on its schemas, it may be taking into account the interpretation it makes of each one, it is based on its ideas and the perceptions it has about the world and often does not look more objectively. Several psychologists have used the term schema in their work on learning. Piaget in his theory of cognitive development expresses that people adapt as they acquire information and change their schemes. That is to say, a person when it has an interpretation of something and then acquires more knowledge is prone to the schema-changing since its perception of the fact can change by having acquired more information.

The schemas that a person has many times do not change even having more information. It is easier for a child to change their schemas than for an adult. The adult, even knowing something, may not change because they may feel they are trying to change their thinking.

Schemas can be very positive and contribute to a better learning process, but the person must also have a more open attitude to assimilate opinions and information that often will not go along the same lines of their thoughts and ideas.
