Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

The gap between the AC and the AVC is the average fixed cost of production, which is obtained by dividing the total fixed cost by the level of output. As output level rises, average fixed cost of production declines. Hence, the gap between the AC and the AVC also declines as output expands.
