In addition, defend your answer with an explanation. (a) True or False? "In the short run, the gap between average total costs and average variable costs should grow as a company produces higher levels of output." (b) True or False? "In the long run, a firm's average fixed costs should decline as the firm produces higher levels of output." (c) True or False? "Whenever marginal costs are below average total costs, the firm's average total costs will decline."arrow_forward
