Answer to Question 1

If Hubert raises his price, his profit will not increase. As a perfectly competitive firm, Hubert's is a price taker. It produces a tiny proportion of the copy services in the area, and buyers are well informed about the prices charged by other firms. So, if the market price is 10 cents per page and Hubert asks, say, 12 cents per page, his customers will go to the next copy service and Hubert will lose all his sales.

Answer to Question 2

A
