You are a producer of semi-trucks. Because it takes a long time to build a semi-truck, you make your output decisions before the demand information is actually revealed. The best prediction of what the demand for semi-trucks will be next year is a demand curve where:

P = 4000 - 2 Q,

Where P is the market price and Q is the total output in the market from all suppliers.
