Answer to Question 1

True . The less elastic the demand for the firm's product, the greater is the firm's ability to set price over marginal cost.

Answer to Question 2

True . An increase in fixed costs will shift AC upward but leave AVC unchanged. The gap between AVC and AC represents prices at which the firm will operate at a loss.
