if we assume that a given bus market is in perfect competition which charges a flat fare of $1 and if the formula for the total demand in the market is given by qd=250-60p where qd is the quantity demand at a given price. if we further assume constant returns to scale. what is the total market demand at the $1 flat fare?

P = N$1, Qd = 250-60P The total demand at the N$1 flat fare is: Qd = 250 - 60*1 = 190 thousands. If the market is shared equally by 4 firms, the number of passengers per vehicle carried by each company is Q = 190/4 = 47.5 thousands.

the market is given by the equation Qd=250-60P Where Qd is the
quantity demanded in thousands at a given price P a) if the cost per
vehicle kilometre is N$ 1.60, avarage utilisation 20 passengers per
vehicle kilometre and avarage trip distance 10 kilometres: 1. what is
the level of bus kilometre required to service this market? 2. what
profit are being made?
