Question:

Suppose there are 1,000 identical firms producing diamonds. Let the total cost function for each firm be given by C(q)=q+wq, where q is the firm's output level and w is the wage rate of diamond cutters.

a. If 10, what will be the firm's (short-run) supply curve? What is the industry's supply curve? How many diamonds will be produced at a price of 20 each? How many more diamonds would be produced at a price of 21?

b. Suppose the wages of diamond cutters depend on the total quantity of diamonds produced and suppose the form of this relationship is given by here w= 0.002Q; represents total industry output, which is 1,000 times the output of the typical firm. In this situation, show that the firm's marginal cost (and short-run supply) curve depends on Q. What is the industry supply curve? How much will be produced at a price of 20? How much more will be produced at a price of 21? What do you conclude about the shape of the short-run supply curve?

I have volunteered with the Malviya study circle, Varanasi which works to provide basic education to the marginal sections of the society, so as to makes them competent to be enrolled in a school. However, it was a challenging task in the beginning as each classroom accommodated students of different ages, academic standards, family background, and thus each of them required a different strategy. We designed a very basic course content that suits everyone and gives a glimpse of advancement at the same time. Together, this platform evoked in me, a sense of priority for the mission of "education for everyone". I always used to take tuition classes at coaching and demonstrations for the juniors at my institution. It worked to ease the financial burden of the college fees along with helping me to be updated about the current revision of the topics in the subject. Also, this fetched me the audience to perform and practice my teaching and presentation skills. This insights, not just helped me to qualify the examinations but also fueled my passion for learning and teaching even more. I am now working as a Junior Research Fellow at IISER- Mohali. I have taken teaching assistantship in two laboratory classes which was a part of my research program. I designed the course, wrote protocols, and explained the key principle to students clearing their doubts. I liked the teaching experience and ended up taking voluntary teaching assistant duties afterward. Unfortunately, my engagement in the research curriculum does not allow me to be a part of a fixed schedule to be a teacher at any coaching institute. Thus, I started exploring the virtual reality platform for teaching opportunities and have been a part of a few online teaching platforms. This quest to learn better and teach better is to be followed forever. Linkedin profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/subhamagarwal199/
