Answer to Question 1

Bundling of unrelated products is likely to reduce a monopolist's profit. If a monopolist bundles two goods, one of which is available in the free market, the bundled product will not appeal to many people in the market. The monopolist loses those customers who have such low valuations of the competitive product that they are unwilling to buy the bundled version, while they would have purchased the monopolized product had it been offered unbundled.Offering only the bundle deprives the monopolist of potential profits.

Answer to Question 2
