Answer to Question 1

The statement is incorrect. A firm in monopolistic competition maximizes its profit by producing where its marginal revenue equals its marginal cost. Because the marginal revenue is less than the price for a firm in monopolistic competition, it definitely is not the case that the firm produces where its price equals its marginal cost

Answer to Question 2

The statement is false. A perfectly competitive firm is called a price taker because the firm must take whatever price the market determines. Any single firm's actions cannot affect the market price.
