Answer to Question 1

Perfect price discrimination is difficult to practice because it requires that the firm know exactly the maximum willingness to pay of each individual buyer. Firms are generally unable to get this information or acquiring it may be quite costly.

Answer to Question 2

In the market for inputs, households are the suppliers. They sell their labor services in the labor market to firms who demand labor to produce their products. Owners of land sell or rent their land to firms for production purposes. Households supply their savings to financial markets so that firms are able to buy capital.
