    If in a question function of demand curve is given and cost function is given than how to find supply curve and industrial supply curve?
    for example som given
    In a perfectly competitive industry, market demand curve is given by QD = 100 - 5P . There are 100
    identical firms in the industry each having the cost function C = 100 + .8q + 2q 2 . Derive the firm’s
    supply curve, industry supply curve and hence the equilibrium price and quantity that prevail in the
    industry in the short run.

    Basically, you have to set supply equal to demand and solve for Q and hence P but these numbers seem pretty horrible.
