A monopolist can produce at a constant average and marginal cost of ATC = MC = $5. It faces a market demand curve given by Q = 53 - P.    Suppose there are N firms in the industry, all with the same constant MC = $5. Find the Cournot equilibrium. How much will each firm produce, what will be the market price, and how much profit will each firm earn? Also show that as N becomes large, the market price approaches the price that would prevail under perfect competition. (Hint: your answers will be functions of N)(BONUS)
