Answer to Question 1

True. A perfect price discriminator sets the price of each unit sold equal to the reservation price of the good. The price equals the maximum price a consumer will pay for a given unit. Thus, the price of each unit will equal the marginal revenue of each unit.

Answer to Question 2

True. Unlike the competitive market, however, social welfare is all producer surplus. There is no consumer surplus. Thus, while a perfect-price-discriminating monopoly is efficient, many are troubled by it based upon distributional issues.
