Answer to Question 1

Before closing the stores, Macy's would be represented by ATC2, because they expected their sales to be Q2. In that case, their average costs would have been AC1. In fact, their sales were only Q1, which meant their costs were AC3. Based on changing shopping habits, Macy's is closing 35 to 40 stores. After closing these stores, Macy's is represented by ATC1. This would have lowered their average costs to AC2, which is at the minimum of this average total cost curve.

Answer to Question 2

B
