Answer to Question 1

It requires the use of linear cost and revenue functions; it isn't applicable if the functions are non-linear. It assumes that there are fixed costs, which means the analysis can be applied only to short-run operations. It can't handle multiple product situations, unless the product mixes are constant. It can't be used to determine profit-maximizing levels of operations.

Answer to Question 2

A
