Answer:

1) must accept market price for its physical capital inputs.

Explanation:

Option 1 is correct because the company must increase it production output, so it can benefit from current high prices. Sometimes increasing production results in higher unit costs, but if those higher costs are offset by higher prices, then it is worth it.

Option 2 is wrong because the company must focus on increasing its production level in order to benefit from higher prices.

Option 3 is wrong because the company must increase its production level in order to benefit from higher prices.

Option 4 is wrong for the same reason as option 2.
