Suppose that there is “dominant” firm with total cost function of c(q) = 100 + 10q + 0.25q2. It faces a market demand function (inverse) of p = 100 − 0.5Q, where Q indicates total market supply. This dominant firm has to deal with 10 fringe firms, each of whom behaves perfectly competitively. Each fringe firm has a marginal cost function dc(q)/dq = 20q + 25
a) Calculate the supply function of the fringe firms
