Answer to Question 1

The profitability of an industry and its competitive structure is affected by the intensity of rivalry among existing competitors, particularly with respect to how they are competing, and what they compete on. If firms compete mainly on price, rivalry is high and the industry as a whole becomes less profitable because price cutting triggers rounds of retaliation and damaging price wars.
