Answer to Question 1

The statement is correct. A single-price monopoly produces less than a competitive market and sets a higher price, both of which decrease the consumer surplus but increase the economic profit.

Answer to Question 2

The demand curve shows the relationship between price and quantity demanded. Since price and quantity demanded are inversely related, the demand curve is downward sloping.
