Answer to Question 1

The market demand curve for a good can be found by summing the quantities demanded by all of the households buying in the market for that good. Since all individuals' demand curves are downward sloping (due to the law of demand), the market demand curve will also be downward sloping. Therefore, the law of demand does apply to the market demand curve as well.

Answer to Question 2

Perfect price discrimination occurs if a firm is able to sell each unit of output for the highest price anyone is willing to pay for it. With perfect price discrimination, output increases to the point at which price, and hence marginal benefit, equals marginal cost. So perfect price discrimination achieves efficiency.
