Along with your textbook readings, review the videos below to explore the effect of market competition on the firm's pricing decision. Then respond to the questions based on the scenario presented. Look around the town or city in which you live and try to find a local business that appears to enjoy some degree of monopoly power (it does not have to be a pure monopoly: one unique product and one seller).

If you were to buy this business, what practical things would you do to strengthen your monopoly situation?
