Answer to Question 1

The monopoly raises price by lowering the quantity offered for sale. This raises the price consumers must pay for the good compared to the competitive market price. This difference in price multiplied by the quantity the monopolist sells represents the amount of consumer surplus that is transferred to producer surplus.

Answer to Question 2

D
