Question: Assume that the market for tortillas is perfectly competitive. The market supply and demand curves for tortillas are given as follows:
Supply Curve: P = .000002Q
Demand Curve: P = 11 - .00002Q
The short run marginal cost curve for a typical tortilla factory is:
MC = .1 + .009Q
- Determine the equilibrium price for tortillas. (5 points)
