Answer to Question 1

A contestable market occurs when the firms in a market face potential entry from other firms due to low barriers to entry. While a monopoly free from the threat of entry will charge a high price and maximize economic profit, the firm or firms in a contestable market will keep price low and quantity produced high to deter potential entry by other firms outside the market. This benefits consumers, who enjoy near-competitive levels of output and a competitive market price.
