4. With an estimated market share of 60%, Atlas is the dominant company and the price leader in an oligopolistic steel industry. The remaining market share is distributed equally between ten companies. Suppose that one of those ten companies, Norton, attempts to gain market share by undercutting the price set by Atlas.
