'Which of the following statements is TRUE? The average variable cost curve must always be U-shaped. At a production level where & firm has economies of scale, the below the average cost. rising marginal cost is If increasing returns to scale are present; the long-run average cost increases as more output is produced. If the average total cost is increasing as output increases, then the average fixed cost is also increasing: None of the above_'

Explain why each of the following statements is false. For each, write the correct statement. a. A monopolist maximizes profits when $M C=P$ b. The higher the price elasticity, the higher is a monopolist's price above its $M C$ c. Monopolists ignore the marginal principle. d. Monopolists will maximize sales. They will therefore produce more than perfect competitors and their price will be lower.
