Answer to Question 1

The firm is an organization that transforms resources (inputs) into products (output). Firms are the primary producing units in a market economy.

Answer to Question 2

You can't actually say anything about it. If marginal product is above average product but still decreasing it will bring the average product up. If marginal product is below average product it will bring average product down.
