Answer to Question 1

Firms might wish to increase their market shares within the industry, managers' power and prestige tend to grow with an increase in the size of a business' level of operations, eschewing profit maximization might avoid new firms entering the industry and/or pressure for government regulation, and increases in the scale of a firm's level of operation might permit capturing cost economies of scale through greater market power to extract lower prices from the firm's suppliers of inputs.
