Okay I don't buy this answer.
The premise states that the run time of shows will be cut from 2 months to 1 month. Answer (A) claims that shows don't require more than 1 month of preparation.
Assuming both these are true, then having to hire an actor for 3 months will clearly increase costs because you have to hire more actors. The only explanation that makes sense is if the same actor can appear in multiple shows.
Pre Change
Hamlet: run time = 2 months, preparation = 1 month
Actor being paid for 3 months
Every 3 months, actors are being paid 3 months salary
Post Change
Hamlet: run time = 1 month, preparation = 1 month
Actor being paid for 3 months
Every 2 months, actors are being paid 3 months salary (effectively, because you have to hire new actors for the next production)
Please tell me how this doesn't increase costs. Vercules, your explanation doesn't do it for me. I understand how (D) can be correct, but I don't understand how (A) can be incorrect.
