Review the following companies and give your opinion (as
informed by economic concepts from class and the textbook) about
the following two questions:

First, whether each company as “no ability”, “very limited
ability”, “some ability”, “a lot of ability” or “complete and total
ability” to exercise market power (i.e., affect quantity and/or
price) in the markets in which they sell products. Briefly
explain your answer for each company.
Second, are there low or high barriers to entry to potential
competitors, and what are the sources of those barriers (legal,
natural/geographic, cultural, etc.)?
