Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Monopolies can only control one variable at a time. If they choose to set the price then the output that is sold is a function of demand. If they choose an output level then the law of demand dictates that only one particular price will get the job done. A monopolist cannot simultaneously determine the price and the output level.
