Answer to Question 1

Average fixed costs should rise since the fixed costs will be spread over fewer units. With higher average fixed costs this should also push up the average total cost as well.

Answer to Question 2

The drop-in-the-bucket problem is that public goods are usually so expensive that their provision generally does not depend on whether or not any single person pays. Their contribution is considered to be a drop in the bucket.
