Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

The statement is true. Because average fixed cost is equal to fixed cost divided by the number of units of output, average fixed cost declines as output rises. However, as long as fixed cost is not equal to zero, average fixed cost cannot be equal to zero.
