Use the following general linear supply function:
Qs = 40 + 6P - 8PI + 10F
where Qs is the quantity supplied of the good, P is the price of the good, PI is the price of an input, and F is the number of firms producing the good.If PI = $20 and F = 60 what is the equation of the supply function?Group of answer choices
Qs = 480 + 6P
Qs = 40 + 8P
P = 480 + 6Qs
Qs = 400 + 6P
none of the above
Suppose that a firm can not give up one input in an exchange for the other and still maintain the same level of output. Calculate the elasticity of substitution in this case and elaborate on your answer.

- Two software companies sell competing products. These products are substitutes so that the number of units that either company sells is a decreasing function of its own price and an increasing function of the other product’s price. Let P1 and X1 be the price and quantity sold of product 1, and P2 and X2 the price and quantity sold of product 2. We have that and . Each company has incurred a fixed cost for designing their software and writing programmes, but the cost of selling to an extra user is zero. As the firms compete in prices, each company will choose a price that maximises its profits.
