It depends if the increase in Average Cost is caused by an increase in Fixed Costs or an increase in Variable Costs. An increase in Fixed Costs will not increase MC, because FCs do not vary with output (by definition) And increase in Variable Costs will increase MC

when marginal costs are below average cost at a given output, one candeduce that, if output increases dose average costs fall or marginal costs will fall
when marginal cost are below average cost at a given output, one can deduce that,
Average cost declines and output increases.
Marginal cost comes from the costs of producing just one more of something.
Marginal cost is equal to the ratio of change in total cost or total variable cost to change in quantity of output. Marginal cost increases as total product increases since it reflects the law of diminishing marginal returns.
