Stanford Plastics, Inc. and Cal-Tech Associates, Inc. supply a generic phone jack that connects telephone cords to phone outlets. Proprietary cost and output information for each company reveal the following relations between marginal cost and output:

MCS=TCS/Q = $1 + $0.00002QS(Stanford) MCC=TCC/Q = $1.50 + $0.000005QC(Cal-Tech)

The wholesale market for modular phone jacks is vigorously price-competitive, and neither firm is able to charge a premium for its products. Thus, P = MR in this market.
