To obtain the profit maximizing output quantity‚ we start by recognizing that profit is equal to total revenue (TR) minus total cost (TC). Given a table of costs and revenues at each quantity‚ we can either compute equations or plot the data directly on a graph. (Lipsey‚ 2011) Figure 1.Illustration of Profit Maximization using TR-TC Approach. A method in determining the Profit and the Loss of a certain Company is one of the fundamentals in Economics. The profit-maximizing output is the one at

Chapter 7 1) For each of the following graphs‚ identify the firm’s profit-maximizing (or loss minimizing) output. Is each firm making a profit? If not‚ should the firm continue to produce in the short run? In the first graph‚ the firm is losing money‚ but it should not shut down because P > AVC. So the loss minimizing choice is to stay in business in the short run. To shut down would lead to higher losses equal to fixed costs and these losses would be more than the current losses. In the

(MC) and marginal revenue (MR) is fairly easy to see‚ marginal cost is the extra cost from the production on one or more units of a particular item verses marginal revenue is the change in total revenue from the sale of one or more units of a particular item. There is a principal that explains the relationship between the two best called the MR=MC rule‚ which states “that a firm will maximize its profit (or minimize its losses) by producing the output at which marginal revenue and marginal cost are

true when the difference between TR and TC is at its maximum positive value? MR=MC AND Slope of TR= Slope of TC When maximizing profits‚ MR = MC is equivalent to P = MC because The marginal revenue curve for a perfectly competitive firm is the same as its demand curve. Perfectly competitive firms should produce the quantity where The difference between total revenue and total cost is as large as possible. Profit for a perfectly competitive firm can be expressed as (P-ATC) x Q ‚ where

The firm is a profit maximizing firm. The individual firm can sell all they can at the market price. Each Individual firm supplies only a small portion of market supply‚ and therefore can’t manipulate the market price. The firm is a price-taker: they take the market price as given. 2. Profit Maximization: The firm will maximize profit at the output level that has the greatest difference between Revenues + Cost. The firm can/will profit maximize where Marginal Revenue (MR) = Marginal Cost (MC)

CASE #4: G.G. Toys 1. Do you recommend that G.G. Toys change its existing cost system in the Chicago plant? In the Springfield plant? Why or why not? G.G. Toys should change its existing cost accounting system from traditional costing to activity-based costing (ABC) in the Chicago plant as it is allocating its entire manufacturing overhead on the basis of just one cost driver: production run direct labor cost. Since overhead at the Chicago plant is high‚ accurate cost accounting system is required

Weekly Reflection ECO/365 March 4‚ 2013 Week 3 Weekly Reflection Various Market Structures and Characteristics The conditions for a monopolistic market are as follows: there is only one firm‚ which is large in size. The firm has to provide the market’s supply‚ and there are high barriers to entry. There are no close substitutes for the goods the monopoly firm provides or produces‚ and the monopolistic market operator should make up the entire market. The conditions for a monopolistic
