Answer to Question 1

Not even monopolists are guaranteed to make a profit. If the demand is so weak that it won't even cover the doctor's average total cost it might be possible that he may never make a profit.

Answer to Question 2

A Lorenz curve is a widely used graph of the distribution of income, with cumulative percentage of families plotted along the horizontal axis and cumulative percentage of income plotted along the vertical axis.
