A third company is not involved in the merger. If you fixed the prices charged by the third company, would the combined companies have an incentive to raise or lower prices at the stores? Explain. If the combined company has an incentive to change price, then a new pricing equilibrium will result. Will this be positive or negative for the combined company and why. What is the long term effect on the market share between the combined stores and company c?
