Hunger Industries operated as a monopolist for the past several years, earning annual profits amounting to $40 million, which it could have maintained if Munch Incorporated did not enter the market. The result of this increased competition is lower prices and ower profits; Hunger Industries now earns $20 million annually. The managers of Hunger Industries are trying to devise a plan to drive Munch Incorporated out of the market so Hunger can regain its monopoly position (and profit). One of Hunger's managers uggests pricing its product 50 percent below marginal cost for exactly one year. The estimated impact of such a move is a loss of $100 million. Ignoring antitrust concerns, if Hunger Industries engages in predatory pricing by slashing its price 50 percent below marginal cost, the present value of current and future profits is Multiple Choice
