Suppose that the market for gourmet deli sandwiches is perfectly
competitive and that the supply of workers in this industry is
upward-sloping, so that wages increase as industry output
increases. Delis in this market face the following total
cost:
TC = q3 - 20 q2 + 120 q + W
where,
Q = number of sandwiches
W = daily wages paid to workers
The wage, which depends on total industry output, equals: W =
0.3 Nq
where,
N = number...
