Answer to Question 1

Not necessarily. A firm should only shut down if it is not earning an operating profit. If a firm is receiving less total revenue than its total variable cost then this advice would make sense.

Answer to Question 2

The budget constraint would pivot out. The relative price of studying French would actually rise since every hour you spend studying French is costing your 3 points towards your economics grade rather than the previous 2 points.
