Answer to Question 1

Even though the attorney may be less productive at filing briefs than his own secretary it might be that he is able to do this at a lower opportunity cost than his secretary. On the other hand the secretary's opportunity cost of typing may be less than that of the attorney.

Answer to Question 2

The main types of markets for financial capital are the loan markets, the bond markets, and the stock markets.
