A merger may be both vertical and horizontal for each of the following reasons, EXCEPT  

Consider the following hypothetical merger between two perfume firms, Cocoa and Baton.  Pre-merger, the profit-maximizing price for Cocoa is $100 and the margin earned on each sale is $25.  The same is true for Baton.  Each sells 100 units before the merger.  The price elasticity of demand for Cocoa is -2.  The diversion ratio between Cocoa and Baton is 20%.  If the new combination of Cocoa and Baton increases the price of Cocoa by 5%, what will be the total change in profits for the post-merger firm assuming no entry, efficiencies, or repositioning by others?  

Four Roses and Blanton’s are competitors in the bourbon market.  Four Roses has a 35% share in this market while Blanton’s has a 25% market share.  The following facts are true for the purposes of this question: Four Roses sells 100 units per month at a retail price of $18. Four Roses’ marginal cost is $10 per bottle of bourbon. Blanton’s sells 200 units per month. The marginal cost of production for Blanton’s is $10 per bottle and it sells its bourbon at retail for $16.  The two bourbon brands have considered merging for the last year and filed the proper paperwork with the Department of Justice just this month.  The Department of Justice conducted an initial investigation and determined that the diversion ratio between Four Roses to Blanton’s is 60%.  Calculate the GUPPI that measures Four Roses’ incentive to engage in a unilateral price increase after the merger (expressed in percentage terms).
