    Q 26. Correct option is 4. If suppose one labor is being used to wash the cars in a factory and he is paid Rs 100 per day. Here labor is the factor of production. Now for the factory owner, this Rs 100 is the opportunity cost for the labor employed, because the factory could have used this money in purchasing something else. Q 27. Correct option is 4. All the statements mentioned in the question is true for LAC curve. Since in long run, all the producers try to minimize their costs, so LAC is the locus of all the portions of the SAC curve where the costs for the producers get reduced. And while taking the locus of the portions of the SAC curves where costs are decreasing, the LAC curve becomes U shaped in nature.
