Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Both Boeing and Airbus wanted to produce more planes than the monopoly outcome because each realized that if it and it alone produced an additional plane, its profit increased. Of course, the profit of its competitor would decrease, but that does not matter to the calculations made by Boeing and Airbus.
