Answer to Question 1

Kevin's optimal choice would depend on the net benefits of both options.
Net benefit of taking up art classes = 100 - 70 = 30
Net benefit of taking up cooking classes = 160 - 120 = 40
Therefore, given the costs and benefits involved, Kevin should sign up for the French cooking classes rather than the art classes.

Answer to Question 2

C
