Answer to Question 1

The supply curve for cigars shifted to the right resulting in a lower equilibrium price and higher equilibrium quantity.

Answer to Question 2

Objective information about, say, the quality of a good or service or the risk associated with a particular activity is costly to obtain. Once it is obtained, however, the marginal cost of disseminating it is low. With the low marginal cost, the firm can enjoy significant economies of scale, so these markets might be close to natural monopolies, that is, a market in which one firm can meet the demand at lower cost than could two or more firms.
