When price = 10, p = MC when q = 60. TR = 600. The AC is just above 8.5, say 8.6. This yields TC = 516. The firm's profit is estimated to be around $84.

When p = 4, p < AVC so no firms will produce. At p = 8, each firm produces 50 units at a loss. At , each firm produces 60 units. The market quantity supplied at each price is:
