the maximum profit that can be obtained for their industry. Marginal revenue‚ marginal cost‚ total cost and profit-maximizing are some of the concepts that are analyzed when making business production decisions. Marginal revenue is the total revenue that is changed when one more unit of output is produced. The total revenue is determined by multiplying the unit price by what quantity the company can sell. The total revenue increases when the first unit is purchased and equals the marginal revenue

inputs are perfect substitutes for example‚ the isoquants are straight lines‚ and the campaign manager should use only the less expensive input in this case. If the inputs are not perfect substitutes‚ the isoquants will have a convex shape. The campaign manager should then spend the campaign’s budget on the combination of the two inputs will that maximize the number of votes. 5.

Marginal costs are change in total costs divided by change in output. Marginal revenue is the change in total revenue divided by change in output. Increase in fixed costs means that when the fixed costs cannot be changed it is the short run and when the fixed costs change it is the long run. The second questions that I chose to answer was

Relationship between marginal cost and marginal product. Marginal cost is the additional cost attributed to an additional unit produced. Marginal product is the increase in the total product due to an additional resource allocation. The marginal cost and marginal return have an inverse relationship and can almost be represented as mirror images of each other. The peak of the marginal product corresponds with the lowest point of the marginal cost. Thus as marginal product increases
