Answer to Question 1

No, price fixing by competitors is always illegal. Regardless of whether a firm will go bankrupt or not, this sort of price fixing is illegal.

Answer to Question 2

With a Herfindahl-Hirschman Index of 8,528, the industry is quite concentrated or, in other words, the industry is not very competitive.
