Suppose that there are only 2 firms in the entire market. Their supply curves are given as follows: S1(p) = 0, if p< 10 and S1(p) = p-10 , if p>= 10 S2(p) = 0 , if p=15 S2(p) = (p-15), if P>15 Market supply for price , p = 15 will be ______. |
Sm(p) = p-10 Sm(p) = 2p-25 Sm(p) = p-15 Sm(p) = 5 |
Sm(p) = 5 |
The correct answer is Option 4: Sm(p) = 5 At price equal to 15, only the first firm will supply the product because the supply of other firm is 0 at this price (15) as mentioned in the question itself. Thus, at P =15, Sm(p) = Supply of Firm 1 + Supply of Firm 2 = (p-10) + 0 = 15- 10 + 0 = 5 |
