c. Can the firm produce 248,000 units of output for exactly $336?

d. What is the minimum cost for which 248,000 units of output can be produced?

e. Suppose the firm is spending exactly $240 to make 248,000 units of output. If the marginal product of labor is 400 units of output, what must the marginal product of capital be?
