Answer to Question 1

A firm's capacity output is the output at which average total cost is at its minimum. In monopolistic competition in the long run, MR = MC and P = ATC. At the long run equilibrium, it is the case that MC < ATC, which means that ATC is falling in this range and so production occurs at an output level that is less than capacity output.

Answer to Question 2

Autarky is a situation in which a country does not trade with other countries.
