Answer to Question 1

This statement is false. If the demand curve lies below the average variable cost curve then monopolistically competitive firms, like any other firms, will find it in their interest to shut down in the short run since this will minimize losses. Market power has no bearing on the decision to shut down or remain in production.

Answer to Question 2

C
