Expert Solution
Step 1

An Individual's supply curve depicts the positive relationship between the price and quantity supplied by an individual. 

The market supply curve depicts the positive relationship between the price and quantity supplied by the market. 

The market supply curve is the vertical summation of an individual's supply curve. 

It means adding up the quantity supplied by each individual at every price level.
