Suppose DOJ wants to test if products A and B are sufficiently broad to constitute a relevant product market, using the Hypothetical Monopolist Test. Assume that PA = PB = 60, mc₁ = mcß = 20, and 9A = 9B = 1000. For every $1 increase in the price of product A, A loses 20 units of sales to B, and loses 30 units of sales to products outside the candidate market.
