Answer to Question 1

The result is very similar to a system of price rationing. The price of the rationed good will rise to the level it would have been in a free market.

Answer to Question 2

Because the monopolist does control the market, the monopolist sets the price at the maximum level that sells all the output the monopolist produces. This maximum price is determined from the demand for the product. The demand curve shows that the only way to increase the quantity consumers will buy is to lower the price. As a result, when a monopolist wants to produce more output, demanders will not buy the additional output at the initial price. As the demand curve indicates, in order to sell the extra production, the monopolist must lower its price.
