Answer to Question 1

In order for the firm to produce more output it will hire more variable inputs like labor and raw materials. This will drive up its total variable costs

Answer to Question 2

For a single-price monopolist, price exceeds marginal revenue. The price is obtained from the demand curve, so for a single-price monopolist, the marginal revenue curve lies below the demand curve.
