P=MC=WTP in the Bread Market Equilibrium
In the competitive equilibrium of the bread market, where 5,000 loaves are sold at a price of €2.00, the economic conditions of the marginal transaction align. Specifically, the willingness to pay of the 5,000th consumer and the marginal cost of producing the 5,000th loaf are both equal to the market price of €2.00.
