Explanation:
Only expenses that can be directly attributed to the business are deductible.
Personal expenses will not be deductible.
A. Here the only deductible amount is the legal fees of $80. The speeding will not be charged to the business because it was as a result of personal negligence. The legal fees affect the business because the speeding related to a business asset.
B. Only the amount paid to reserve a spot will be deductible because it relates to expenses for the business to make profit. The money she spent on her children is a personal expense.

Explanation:
A monopoly would seek to maximize its profit at a point where marginal revenue will equal marginal cost because at this point, resources are being fully and efficiently utilized. If more cost was incurred to produce then marginal cost would exceed marginal revenue and lead to losses.
The same goes for the firm producing at a quantity where marginal revenue is larger than marginal cost. They should expand their production levels so that their marginal cost equals marginal revenue as this will increase profitability.
