Expert Solution
Step 1

In a pure competitive market setting, each seller does not enjoy any power to regulate the prevailing price via its supply to the market. This is prominently due to its irrelevant share in market supply and production of a good which is exactly similar to that of other firms. As a consequence, it can only produce a quantity where the market price equates with its marginal cost of production.
