DIt means consumers have no role in the market.

Solution & Explanation:The best answer connects the market feature to competition: entry barriers, seller count, product differences, and consumer choice affect market power.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Scenario: Two markets each have one incumbent. In Market 1, entry requires large sunk costs (specialized equipment). In Market 2, sunk costs are near zero. Which market is more “contestable,” and why?

AMarket 2, because low sunk costs make hit‑and‑run entry more credible.

BMarket 1, because sunk costs make entrants more committed.

CBoth are equally contestable because each has one firm.

DMarket 1, because high sunk costs force incumbents to lower price.

Solution & Explanation:Contestability depends on the ease of entry and exit. Low sunk costs mean entrants can try entry and exit cheaply, disciplining the incumbent.
