Answer:Increase

Explanation:The demand will increase as these two companies exit the market because the competition has been reduced as the demand increases this will caus the equilibrium price to increase. People will be demanding more chips only from the three companies that will be remaining.They will have to supply more in return to that demand because the competition has been cut.

Answer: C. Increase

Explanation:

An oligopoly is a market structure in which a few firms dominate. When a market is shared between a few firms, it is said to be highly concentrated. Although only a few firms dominate, it is possible that many small firms may also operate in the market.

Where few firms dominate the equilibrium price will increase because the demand will be high, and this will make the equilibrium price increase.
