Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Firm A is operating at full capacity, if its sales keep increasing, then t will need to invest to expand its production capacity. Since firm B is operating below full capacity level, if its sales keep increasing it will have some spare production capacity it can use before operating at full capacity.

Therefore firm A will need to invest in an expansion of its production capacity while firm B can keep operating without new investments.
