2. Explain why average costs of production might fall as

a business increases its scale of operations.

The average costs of production probably fall when the business

increases its primary resources, their employees, the raw material, in
order to increase the quality and efficiency of the goods or services they
offer. When they carry out this action there is always the risk that they
will not be successful in the market in which it is developed and the fact
of investing in production costs and in the scale of operations does not
ensure success, however, in the long term what will be obtained it is
profits and a wide influence in the market.

It must be taken into account that taking these actions can lead to
losses both, for the company and for external people to the business,
and then in the same way generate more profits for both groups labor
areas and that entails the business in general.

3. Discuss the advantages and

disadvantages of setting up a business in a
recession.

Well, there is known that recessions create several factors that drift
to have needs. Some of the advantages that we can identify is that when
a business gets in serious problems (not gaining enough to maintain the
performance) this is when the business creates or generates progress
that in a future can help to improve or make it greater than it was
before the recession.

Another considerable advantage is related to merchandise and

materials, it is known when there is happening a bad moment at
economic area in the world there is a tendency which prices tend to get
lower than they were before, the moment of rescission creates a need
for money, for this the costs of the properties and lower them, making
them accessible to other businesses.

Not all can be good and useful in a recession, one of the greatest
disadvantages is that the budget acquired for our business with
different purposes can considerably drop in critical levels even
reaching to zero or less than that amount and with this can bring higher
unemployment, lower wages and incomes, and lost opportunities more
generally.

4. Examine the possible reasons for the merger between Kraft

and Heinsz

Between the merger of Kraft and Heinz in 2015, they formed one of
the largest food industries in the world, controlling dozens of food and
drink brands that have been staples for generations, growing their
production and manufacturing numbers, and increasing their revenues
and profits to $28 Billion. Maintaining one of their main objectives of
lowering inflation and increasing the number of tourists in the
country, after the merger of the two food companies, reducing
competition and prices increases in different products and sectors.

The main objective was to increase the income and profits of the
company, by changing the name of some products, launching them to
the international market.

Another of its objectives was to cut costs and thus also the
reduction of human capital.
They were also looking for better opportunities and relationships with
retail stores, restaurants and food companies.
Many analysts believe that instead of adapting to changing consumer
preferences, Kraft Heinz focused heavily on cost cutting, alienating its
market, and regressing its company's growth.

They tried to anticipate customer decisions, however these changed

faster than expected and did not focus on consumer preferences.
