Answer to Question 1

Predatory dumping refers to a situation where a foreign firm charges a price that is so low it is able to capture the local market. Once obtained, the foreign firm then acts like a monopolist. Predatory dumping is extremely unlikely in the United States. When the foreign firm raises its price, nothing prevents new (possibly local) firms from entering the market. Moreover, the U.S. market is so large, it is doubtful that any foreign monopolist could satisfy U.S. demand.
