Golden Delicious apples cost 25 cents a piece; a bag of 16 Golden Delicious apples costs $3.25. She bought the bag of Golden Delicious apples, even though she would have six apples left after making the pies. Which statement BEST describes Esther's choice?

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Lola is selling Happy Teen magazine at her school to raise money for a trip to Washington, DC. The marginal cost of each magazine she buys is $2.00, and the price she sells them for is $5.00. Yesterday, she got a letter in the mail saying that the magazine was raising its cost per magazine from $2.00 to $3.50. Today, Mrs. Ibarra pulls Lola aside and informs her that, from now on, she will only be allowed to sell the magazine for $3.25 at school. What has happened to Lola's incentive to produce?

She will have less incentive to produce because the higher marginal cost lowers her profits.

She will have more incentive to produce because she will sell more at the lower prices and make more profits.

Her incentive to produce will remain unchanged because she still wants to go to Washington, D.C.

She will have no incentive to produce because with the change in marginal cost and price, she will no longer make a profit.
