What examiners said
The best answers were brief and to the point, contrasting the supply of an individual firm with the total supply of all the firms in the market. Weaker answers tended to be vague and give individual supply as being from one person (rather than one firm) and market supply as lots of people supplying (rather than firms).

Question 6 was answered correctly by 21% of candidates who chose option A. 27% chose option B, 12% chose option C and 40% chose option D. The original equilibrium price is $7. If supply increases by 200 units at each price it would mean that the quantity supplied at $6 would be 600 units which equals the quantity demanded. The equilibrium price has decreased by $1.
