Answer to Question 1

In perfect competition, price and marginal revenue are equal. This occurs because firms in perfectly competitive markets are price takers. Each additional unit sold results in an increase in revenue equal to the market price of the product.

Answer to Question 2

Firms are the sellers in output markets and are the buyers in factor markets.
