Question

. Consider the general supply function:

Qs = 1,000 + 20 P - 9 PI +25 F

Qs = quantity supplied

P = price of the commodity

PI = price of a key input in the production process

F = number of firms producing the commodity

b. Derive the equation for the supply function when PI = $480 and F = 60.

 Using the supply function from part b, calculate the quantity supplied when the price of the commodity is $1,000 and $1,500.
