Answer to Question 1

When non-profit companies are looking for CEOs they often have to look for them in both the ranks of the non-profits and profit-making firms as well. In order to be competitive their offers often must be in line with what they can earn elsewhere. In other words, they have to be paid their opportunity cost.

Answer to Question 2

The firm encounters diminishing returns when the marginal product of variable inputs declines. This occurs because other inputs are unchanged in the short run.
