Reference no: EM13694561

Consider a competitive industry with a large number of firms, all of which have identical cost functions c(y)=y2+1 for y>0 and c(0)=0. Suppose that initially the demand curve for this industry is by D(p)=52-p. (The output of a firm does not have to be an integer number, but the number of firms does have to be an integer.) 1. What is the supply curve of an individual firm? If there are n firms in the industry, what will be the industry supply curve? 2. What is the smallest price at which the product can be sold? 3.
