Answer to Question 1

The lunch is not free for a couple of reasons. First, in order for the radio station to offer it they had to give up real resources in order to provide it. Secondly, it is likely that if the luncheon is offered at no expense to the students they will likely have to spend at least some amount of time waiting in line to get it. This time represents an opportunity cost which is not likely to be free.

Answer to Question 2

B
