Will, Jill, and Phil are all wheat farmers. The wheat industry is perfectly (purely) competitive. The first chart shows how much each farmer produces at different price levels. The second chart shows each farmer's minimum average total cost (ATC), average variable cost (AVC), and marginal cost (MC). Based on this data (assuming these three are the only producers), plot the industry supply curves: one for the short run and one for the long run.
