Answer: See explanation
Explanation:
The industry supply curve will be the supply curve given multiplied by the total number of firms. This will be:
P = 50 + 0.1Q
Check: since Q = 100
P = 50 + 10/100Q
P = 50 + 0.1Q
To get the Equilibrium price and quantity, we've to equate the market demand curve and supply. This will be:
Market demand = P = 200 - 0.9Q
Market Supply = P = 50 + 0.1Q
Therefore,
200 - 0.9Q = 50 + 0.1Q
200 - 50 = 0.1Q + 0.9Q
150 = Q
Equilibrium quantity = 150 units
Since P = 50 + 0.1Q
P = 50 + 0.1(150)
P = 50 + 15
P = 65
Equilibrium price is 65.
The units of output that will be produced by a firm operating in this market with a marginal cost function, MC = 130Q will be 2.
