Multiple Choice

A) at the point of minimum SRATC.
B) at a point where average total cost is falling but the marginal cost is rising.
C) at a point where both the average total cost and the marginal cost are rising.
D) at an output level for which the quantity of the fixed factor is optimal.
E) only when the LRAC curve is at its minimum.
