Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

AC = 100/q + 4q. This is minimized when dAC/dq = 0, or -100/q2 + 4 = 0. Solving yields q = 5 and AC = 40. Thus a price greater than 40 is required for the firm to earn profit. AVC = 4q and MC = 8q. Since AVC is below MC for all levels of output, AVC will be less than price for all levels of output. The firm will not shut down in the short run.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
