Expert Solution

A) True. Marginal cost determines the output level which is part of variable costs.

B) False. In short run firms will produce even if price is less than average total cost but it must not less than average variable cost.

C) False. At profit maximising level of output MR = MC and MC is increasing while MR is constant. So output greater then this will have higher marginal cost then marginal revenue.

D) False. Economic profit is the difference between total revenue and explicit+ implicit costs.

E) False. In competitive industry there is no advertising and firms take price because there are many firms and all are producing homogeneous product and consumers have all the information.
