Suppose all firms in a given industry have the same supply curve given by S,(p)p/4. Plot and label the four industry supply curves generated by these firms if there are 1, 2, 3, or 4 firms operating in the industry. (a) If all of the firms had a cost structure such that if the price was below $4, they would be losing money, what would be the equilibrium price and output in the industry in the long run if the market demand was D(p) 2.5? How many firms would exist in such a market? Why? (b) What if the identical conditions as above held except that the market demand was equal to D(p) 7.5-p? Now, what would be the equilibrium price and output? How many firms would operate in such a market?

John is a very cost-conscious investor. His rule of thumb is that it costs $300 per year, starting in the first year of vehicle life to maintain an automobile. This expense increases by $300 each year over the life of the car. John is now considering the purchase of a six-year old car with 40,000 miles on it for $7,000. How much money will John have to set aside now to pay for maintenance (as a lump sum) if he keeps this car for seven years? John's interest rate is 4% per year.
