If increase in TR due to decrease in competition, (causing demand to be more price in elastic) is larger than increase in TC, prices won’t increase. ]]> 2021-08-16 02:54:56 UTC https://padlet.com/lim_lai_har_karen1/IBL2/wish/1679820873 Can each group give me a final decision on whether you will allow a merger and state your reason for your anwer. lim_lai_har_karen1 https://padlet.com/lim_lai_har_karen1/IBL2/wish/1679821282 2021-08-16 02:55:22 UTC https://padlet.com/lim_lai_har_karen1/IBL2/wish/1679821282 Grp 5 YES! https://padlet.com/lim_lai_har_karen1/IBL2/wish/1679825529 Reason : Koufu would not necessarily have much of an advantage if they do go through with the merger. NTUC, which spreads out its resources unlike Koufu, most likely won't be overshadowed by Koufu even after Koufu merges. ]]> 2021-08-16 02:58:46 UTC https://padlet.com/lim_lai_har_karen1/IBL2/wish/1679825529 group 3 https://padlet.com/lim_lai_har_karen1/IBL2/wish/1679825851 even after koufu acquires food junction and food republic, they will still face intense competition with NTUC which is a big player in the field, and hence we think that they will not be able to act like a monopoly where they have complete market dominance. HENCE we permit!]]> 2021-08-16 02:59:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lim_lai_har_karen1/IBL2/wish/1679825851 Grp 4 https://padlet.com/lim_lai_har_karen1/IBL2/wish/1679826189 Yes. Koufu could gain significant market share, but market share still not as large as kopitiam. Furthermore the merger would increase the degree of competition for kopitiam, encouraging innovation which would increase consumer welfare. ]]> 2021-08-16 02:59:25 UTC https://padlet.com/lim_lai_har_karen1/IBL2/wish/1679826189 https://padlet.com/lim_lai_har_karen1/IBL2/wish/1679853629 why was the airline industry used as a pov and not the LCCs portion only? -sarah]]> 2021-08-16 03:25:16 UTC https://padlet.com/lim_lai_har_karen1/IBL2/wish/1679853629
