1. The scale given is more like a questionnaire, and a questionnaire is put out to gather information about someone or something. The scale that is given is appropriate if the questions are supposed to be qualitative. Meaning from my understanding of the scale, i can understand that the questionnaire is written for someone that likes to travel a lot and maybe thinking about his/her next travel destination and filling up the questionnaire. However, the scale that is given does suggest that whether the person likes to do that kind of activity or not but it does not tell the person to what extent that person wants to do the activity. So i believe that the scale is appropriate to know about the kind of next travel destination a person wants but doesn't really tell you about the quantitative factors.

2. As said from the 1st question above, the scale could have added more qualitative factors to know how much a person wants to do the activity. for example when the question says I like wild parties, now there are all sorts of wild parties and people have different ideas about wild parties so this kind of question is very subjective and does not really give you the focus answer you are looking for.

Explain the differences between Economies of Scale and Diseconomies of Scale and explain what factors influence over them. In order to do so, you will have to use the concepts of Short and Long Run average total costs. Remember that in the Short Run Average Total Cost curve, you can find at least one of your assets as fixed and in the Long Run Average Total Cost curve, all the assets are considered variable, meaning that you are assuming the...
