Problem
Suppose the price of bagels in Allentown is currently $0.75 per bagel. There are 10 low-cost bakeries that can produce bagels, each of which has the supply function Qs = 200P - 100. There are 10 high-cost bakeries that can produce bagels, each of which has the supply function Qs = 200P - 200. (These individual supply functions apply in the short run and the long run.) Which bakeries will be active when the price is $0.75? If the price rises to $1.25, what will be the market supply in the short run? In the long run? Graph the short-run and long-run market supply curves.
