Suppose there are 1000 identical wheat farmers. For each, TC = 10 + q2. Derive the market supply curve
What will be an ideal response?
For each MC = 2q and AVC = q. Thus MC > AVC for all levels of output. The firm sets p = 2q or q = 0.5p. Since there are 1000 firms each producing q, market supply equals Q = 500p.
