For the following statement select True or False with two to five line explanations. EXPLANATION IS COMPULSORY

1. When there is a shortage of goods "X" in a market there is downward pressure on price of goods X.

2. Suppose that a decrease in the price of X results in less of good Y sold. This would mean that X and Y are complementary goods.

5. The downward-sloping demand curve reflects the price is positively related to quantity supplied.

11. With fixed costs of $400, a firm has average total costs of $3 and average variable costs of $2.50. Its output is 800 units.

13. When the total product curve is falling, the marginal product of labor is negative.
