Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

The long-run average cost curve (LRAC) shows the relationship between the lowest attainable ATC and output when both plant size and labor are varied. The LRAC curve reflects the minimum possible ATC the firm can attain for any given level of output. For any level of output the firm might choose to produce, the LRAC reflects the lowest possible ATC taken from an ATC curve that corresponds to a particular plant size. Once the firm has chosen that plant size, it will incur costs corresponding to the ATC curve associated with that plant size.
