ODEL SCENARIO - TOOTHPASTE Up until 1977, the Island Nation of Somberio had a perfectly competitive market for toothpaste. Then, ever single one of the independent toothpaste firms merged together to form a single monopoly corporation. Suppose all other market conditions remained unchanged (i.e. cost curves and demand curves have not moved). 1. Based on our models of these markets, what changes do we expect to see in the prices and quantities of toothpaste produced? 2. What do we as economists call this difference in price and production level? 3. After a year of operating as a monopoly. the Somberioan government decided to regulate this toothpaste monopoly and required it to produce at a "Fair-Return Price". What changes would we expect to see in market price and quantity produced? 4. Suppose the Somberioan toothpaste market didn't become a monopoly but had instead gone from perfectly-competitive to a monopolistic-competitive market. What non-price changes might we expect to see take place?
