Answer to Question 1

The opportunity cost of doing your homework is only 40 which is the next best available alternative. Spending time with your friends has an opportunity cost of 50 since this is the next best available alternative. And it turns out this is also the opportunity cost of taking a nap as well. Therefore, the best use of your time is to spend it doing your homework since the opportunity cost of doing so is lower than the other two alternatives.

Answer to Question 2

B
