Answer to Question 1

Financing with a loan involves accepting an obligation to repay a debt. Financing with venture capital involves accepting funds in exchange for a portion of ownership of the company. With a loan a business owner retains control of her company but must generate enough profit to cover operating costs and loan payments. This may not be possible for a new company. With venture capital there is no obligation to repay the funds. However, a business owner must forfeit some profits and control of her company to the venture capitalist.

Answer to Question 2

Yes. The opportunity cost of increasing the production of wheat rises as more wheat is produced. The opportunity cost of the first 10,000 bushels of wheat is only 5,000 rugs, but the opportunity cost of the fourth 10,000 bushels of wheat is 20,000 rugs.
