Suppose that thepersonal computerindustry is characterized by a very large producer, Enormous Personal Computer, Inc., and 10 other firms in a competitive fringe that produce clones of EPC's computers. Demand for personal computer is given by:Q = -10p + 35000

EPC can product PCs at a constant marginal cost of $1,000, while firms in the competitive fringe face increasing marginal cost, given by:

MC = q + 500

a-Assume that each member of the competitive fringe acts as a price taker. Find each firm's supply function.

Graph the supply curve for all fringe firms combined in the diagram below. Also graph market demand.
