Answer 1

Answer:

Question 1:

The correct option is "C"

Question 2:

The correct option is "D"

Explanation:

Question 1:

A firm amplifies benefit b comparing minimal income (MR) with peripheral cost (MC). A change in fixed costs like singular amount charge doesn't change MC, in this way firm delivers same yield. Be that as it may, higher fixed cost expands absolute expenses, consequently benefit diminishes.  

Question 2:

Increment in factor cost will build MC and increment ATC, along these lines firm will diminish yield and benefit will fall.
