Answer to Question 1

The higher the profits of the dominant firm and the existing fringe, the higher the rate at which new fringe members will enter the market. The dominant firm might be able to maximize the present value of its future profits by pricing below the simple single-period maximum. Such low pricing strategy by the dominant firm is referred to as a price war.
