question 125

Multiple Choice

• B) Yes, because average variable costs are always less than average total costs.
• C) No, the previous level of output was the most efficient because it had the lowest average total cost.
• D) Yes, even though the previous level of output had minimized the average total cost, there was still profit to be earned by producing additional units.
