Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

False. The advantage is to the incumbent. The incumbent ignores the fixed entry cost since it is a sunk cost. For the potential entrant, the fixed entry cost can be avoided if entry does not occur. Thus the fixed entry cost is an added expense to entrants.
