Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

The deadweight loss from monopoly measures the loss to society of having a product produced by a monopoly rather than a perfectly competitive industry. The deadweight loss results from the point that a monopolist produces less output than would a perfectly competitive industry. The monopolist produces less output in order to raise the price of the product and thereby earn an economic profit.
