Answer to Question 1

False. Dominant strategies only arise if a player has a single strategy that provides higher payoffs than any other strategy regardless of the other player's move.

Answer to Question 2

a. Wages are a variable cost, so MC, AVC, and ATC increase.
b. Materials are a variable cost, so MC, AVC, and ATC decrease.
c. A fixed or lump-sum tax increases ATC but not MC or AVC.
d. Rent is generally viewed as a fixed cost, so ATC decreases, but MC and AVC are unchanged.
