Answer to Question 1

d

Answer to Question 2

The AVC and the MC curves depict an important relationship. At outputs less than the minimum of average variable cost (i.e., where the AVC curve is falling) marginal cost is less than average variable cost. Similarly, where the AVC curve is rising marginal cost is greater than average variable cost. Finally, if average variable cost is constant (as occurs near the minimum of AVC), it equals marginal cost. However, the reverse implications are not necessarily trueimmediately to the left of the minimum of AVC, MC is below it but the marginal cost curve itself is rising.
