Competition and the Invisible Hand: End of Chapter Problem

Let’s take a look at Invisible Hand Property 2 in action using a mathematical example. Suppose an industry is characterized by the following equations. We’re going to assume that all individual firms are identical to make this problem a little simpler.

Demand: ??=100−2?QD=100−2⁢P
Individual firm's supply: ??=0.5+0.1?qS=0.5+0.1⁢P
Market supply with n firms: ??=?×??=0.5?+0.1??QS=n×qS=0.5⁢n+0.1⁢n⁢P
Individual firm's average cost: ??=5??−5+24.2??A⁢C=5⁢qS−5+24.2qS
