25 Imperfect competition 1.2 Alice mkes hts t cost of $c per ht. Her profit is π 1 = p c price With the demnd eqution p = K b Alice s other totl production under perfect competition is K-c becuse the price is given by p = c. Alice s profit is zero. price = mrginl cost

26 Imperfect competition 1.2 Alice mkes hts t cost of $c per ht. Her profit is π 1 = p c price Alice s With the demnd eqution other p = K b With imperfect competition, Alice s profit is π 1 = (K b c)
