Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

The firm produces where its marginal cost equals its marginal revenue. Then the price is determined from the demand curve and is the highest price at which people will buy the quantity produced. The firm can make a positive economic profit, zero economic profit, or incur an economic loss in the short run. In the long run, the firm cannot make an economic profit; it can only make zero economic profit, that is, its owners make a normal profit.
