Q 326 Marks Question6 Marks
Considering the same demand curve as in exercise 22, now let us allow for free entry and exit of the firms producing commodity X. Also assume the market consists of identical firms producing commodity X. Let the supply curve of a single firm be explained as.$\text{q}^\text{s}_f=8+3\text{p for p}\geq20$
$=0\text{ for }0\leq\text{p}<20$
  1. What is the significance of p = 20?
  2. At what price will the market for X be in equilibrium? State the reason for your answer.
  3. Calculate the equilibrium quantity and number of firms.
