Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Profit = (a - bQ)Q - cQ
dProfit/dQ = a - 2bQ - c = 0
Q = (a - c)/2b
p = (a + c)/2
Profit = (a - c)2/4b
DWL = (a - c)2/8b

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.
