Firm's Pricing Strategy and Market Power
Imagine a single, profit-maximizing firm that produces a unique type of smartphone. Initially, this firm is the only producer in the market. Later, several new companies enter the market, offering similar smartphones. Analyze how this shift from a monopoly to a more competitive market structure would likely influence the original firm's price-setting strategy. In your analysis, discuss the expected changes to the firm's price, its profit margin per unit, and the real wage it can afford to pay its workers, assuming labor productivity remains constant. Justify your reasoning for each component.

A single, profit-maximizing firm operates in a market where new technology significantly lowers the barriers to entry, leading to an increase in the number of competing companies.
