<\/p>
Required:<\/strong><\/p> 1. Assuming the duck hunting trip Bill has just completed is typical, what costs are relevant to a decision as to whether Bill should go duck hunting again this season?<\/p> 2. Suppose Bill gets lucky on his next hunting trip and shoots 14 ducks using the same amount of shotgun shells he used on his previous hunting trip to bag 8 ducks. How much would it have cost him to shoot the last sixducks?<\/p> <\/p>",
