Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

(1 ) Kinked demand curve: the assumption behind the kinked demand curve model is that rivals follow price decreases but not price increases. One automaker offering rebates, etc., is essentially a price cut, and so others will follow. (2 ) Price leadership: This could also be viewed as a price leader setting a new price and others following.
