Not sure what you mean by, "How would your answers have changed...", but the price change for the monopoly would have to be downward...to be competitive internationally. A local monopoly means there is no local competition...

It will reduce the price the monopoly is able to charge and lower their gross margin.

Overall it should greatly hurt the income of the monopoly and and make them more competitive and more efficient.
