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.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
