4. Suppose 1,000 identical suppliers of bottled water operate in a perfectly competitive market. The market demand for their water is given by the equation: Q-10,000-200P, or P-50-.005Q where Q is the number of gallons of water demanded each day by consumers of bottled water, and Pis the price per gallon a. If the marginal cost to each supplier was constant at $I per gallon, how many gallons of water would sell in this market? How many would each supplier...
