Study Notes

Supply and Demand Theory

The theory of competitive markets, specifically supply and demand, helps predict the outcomes of experiments, such as equilibrium prices, quantities, and profits.
It also allows for anticipating the effects of changes like increased supplier costs or government subsidies.

Data and Tools

To predict the outcome of price and quantities in a competitive equilibrium, we need data from the supply and demand curves.
These curves are derived from supply and demand tables respectively.
The supply curve tells us the total quantity suppliers are willing to sell at each potential price.
The demand curve shows the total quantity buyers are willing to purchase at each price.

Supply Curve

The supply curve is based on the distribution of suppliers' sales costs.
We need to obtain a supply table, which shows the amounts offered at various price ranges.
This table is derived from the distribution of suppliers data provided in the problem.
