Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

A short-run total product curve shows the way the maximum output increases when the input of a variable factor of production (such as labor) increases, holding all other factors of production fixed. Its significance is that it shows the productivity of the variable factor of production as output is increased. The latter, in turn, is an important determinant of a firm's short run costs.
