Answer to Question 1

At 12,500 square feet Gap's stores were too large and Gap was incurring diseconomies of scale. When Gap combines its separate Gap concept stores into a smaller space, Gap will use fewer resources, particularly less capital and less labor. Gap's costs will be less as a result. Additionally Gap's sales will be less but the proportionate decrease in cost will exceed the decrease in Gap's production. In this case Gap's average costs will decrease so that Gap can reap economies of scale it currently is not enjoying.

Answer to Question 2

A

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
