Answer to Question 1

B The monopoly creates inefficiency by producing less than a competitive market to raise its price.

Answer to Question 2

The price of labor in a competitive labor market is the market wage. Competitive firms are price takers in the labor market, which means that they can hire all of the labor they want at the existing market wage.
