Q3: Mr Han Cook says that marginal cost is just a funny name for average total cost. What do you think about this ideas?
Q4: How prices reaches equilibrium? Give an example.
Imagine a small town in which only two residents, Rochelle and Alec, own wells that produce safe drinking water. Each week Rochelle and Alec work together to decide
how many gallons of water to pump. They bring the water to town and sell it at whatever price the market will bear. To keep things simple, suppose that Rochelle and
Alec can pump as much water as they want without cost so that the marginal cost of water equals zero. The town's weekly demand schedule and total revenue schedule
for water is shown in the following table:
