Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

A large number of firms has three implications. (1 ) Each firm will have a small share of the market since there are many firms. (2 ) There will be a lack of collusion among the firms because the large number will make it impossible for the firms to agree on price and output decisions. (3 ) Each firm will act independently from their competitors since they cannot take into account how their numerous competitors will react to changes in their behavior.
