Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Firm B will shut down in the short run because it is suffering operating losses. If the product price doesn't reach 8 or better it will exit the industry. Firm A will continue to produce in the short run because it is making an operating profit. However, if market price does not rise to 8 or better it too will exit in the long run.
