Answer to Question 1

e

Answer to Question 2

The merger would be allowed under the rule of reason, which says that a long as a firm behaves reasonably, its size does not matter. The merger would be disallowed under the per se standard, which says that having a monopoly position is undesirable, no matter how the firm behaves.
