Critically analyze the following and explain whether you agree or disagree:
a. Janet knows a lot of people who do not like MarmiteĀ®, a yeast extract that is used as a spread on toast. She says that Marmite is so unpopular that Unilever, the company that manufactures MarmiteĀ®, cannot possibly have any monopoly power.
b. Edgar says that a single firm in the wind power industry is unlikely to have a significant degree of monopoly power for an extended period of time. Since the cost of producing an additional unit of wind energy is so low, a large number of firms can enter the market and compete away economic profits.
