The following graph plots a supply curve (orange line) for a group of recent graduates looking to sell used smart devices. Each seller has only a single used smart device available for sale. Think of each rectangular area beneath the supply curve as the "cost," or minimum price that each seller is willing to accept. Assume that anyone who has a cost that equals the market price is willing to sell their used smart device.
