True or false: if jacques's fire engines were a competitive firm instead and $160,000 were the market price for an engine, increasing its production would not affect the price at which he can sell engines.

This is true. The amount of engines produced will not automatically change the price at which the engines can be sold. In addition, a single company cannot change the overall market price for a good or service. However, raising output could lead to a surplus of stock for that one company in the future.
