A competitive firm uses two variable factors to produce its output, with a production function q = min{x1, x2}. The price of factor 1 is £8 and the price of factor 2 is £5. Due to a lack of warehouse space, the company cannot use more than 10 units of x1. The firm must pay a fixed cost of £80 if it produces any positive amount but doesn't have to pay this cost if it produces no output. What is the smallest integer price that would make a firm willing to produce a positive amount? А. £44 В. £41 С. £29 D. £13 Е. £21
