Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Gap believes that its stores are too large and that it is operating where it has diseconomies of scale. By reducing the size of its plant (its stores) Gap can slide down its LRAC curve and decrease its average cost. Gap's decision is a long-run decision because it involves the size of the firm's plant.
