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.
