In the years before wireless phones, when telephone technology requited having a wile matting to every home, it seemed plausible that telephone service had diminishing average costs and might require regulation like a natural monopoly.

Ilia is driving home from work. She needs to buy gas and notices an Exxon-Mobil station on one side of the street and a Shell station on the other side of the street. Although run by different companies, the two stations sell gasoline at the same price. a. The most likely reason that the price is the same is that _gas stations always make a profit, so they can charge any price they want. _drivers need gas and are willing to pay whatever price a gas station charges. _government regulation requires both gas stations to charge the same price. _consumers view gasoline from different gas stations as perfect substitutes. b. If one station increases its price, _it will be fined by the government. _it will sell more gasoline. _it will make a higher profit. _it will lose customers to the cheaper station across the street.
