Answer to Question 1

In this case, his mother is right, he is actually making a profit of 5, since the anti-bullying cost he paid to Robert is fixed and now unavoidable and should not be a part of the calculations. Therefore he should definitely not shut down. In this case the marginal revenue is also above his marginal cost, and thus if he increases production, his profit would increase and hence he should ramp up production.

Answer to Question 2
