Answer:
The correct answer is option b.
Explanation:
Mathew bakes and sells apple pies. Apple here is used as an input. If the price of apple increases, it means the cost of producing apple pies is increasing as well.
At the given cost the firm will be able to produce fewer apple pies. This will cause a reduction in the supply of apple pies. Consequently, the supply curve will shift to the left.
Answer: With a loss
Explanation:
The firm here has its Marginal cost higher than it's marginal revenue.
This means that for every additional unit sold, the company is incurring a loss of $0.50 which is the difference between the marginal cost and the marginal revenue.
The company is therefore operating at a loss because every additional unit is costing them instead of benefitting them. To counter this, they need to reduce production so that marginal cost will fall.

Answer: C) noncompensatory rule
Explanation:
The non-compensatory rule is used to describe a situation where a person does not believe that the good traits of a product in one area will compensate for perceived bad traits in another area.
For Elton, the good trait is well known brand names and the bad trait is brand names that are not well known. Even if for the brand that is not well known, the price is lower, the discount is higher or the store is well known, these still will not be enough to compensate for the bad trait of not being well known.
