Answer to Question 1

The statement is correct. Competition among rent seekers might cause the successful person striving to create a monopoly to pay so much in order to create the monopoly that, when taking into account the cost of creating the monopoly, the person makes only zero economic profit.

Answer to Question 2

An isoquant is a curve that shows all of the combinations of labor and capital that can be used to produce a given level of output.
