Explanation / Answer

Marginal analysis will be most relevant for deciding how much to spend on your summer vacation....Marginal analysis gives you the consequesnces of using one extra unit be it a unit of currency or a unit of production.......So Marginal analysis will tell you which is the safe amount to be spent on the vacation as beyond that the cost will be more than the benefit,...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For your question 3...draw a vertical line at the point 2 of the X axis....It will intersect the MB curve at y=30 and the MC curve at y=10.....Hence the answer is option B) 30 ; 10

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The answer is option c) Marginal..............

An easy explaination for the same..................look at the Marginal cost of question 3and now compare it with the curves of question 4 you will find that curve A most resembles it.
