Answer to Question 1

Each firm has the possibility of sharing monopoly profits with other members of the cartel if each firm complies with the agreement. But each firm has an incentive to cheat on the collusive agreement in a cartel. If they all cheat, the outcome for each firm is worse than if they had all held to the agreement.

Answer to Question 2

The five main factors of production are labor, capital, natural resources, and entrepreneurial ability.
