| | Profit maximization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Marginal cost and revenue, depending on whether the calculus approach is taken or not, are defined as either the change in cost or revenue as each additional unit is produced, or the derivative of cost or revenue with respect to quantity output. | | | The total revenue -- total cost method relies on the fact that profit equals revenue minus cost, and the marginal revenue -- marginal cost method is based on the fact that total profit in a perfectly competitive market reaches its maximum point where marginal revenue equals marginal cost. | | | Average cost and revenue are defined as the total cost or revenue divided by the amount of units output. |

| | Marginal Revenue (MR) is equal to the change in total revenue over the change in quantity when the change in quantity is equal to one unit (or the change in output in the bracket where the change in revenue has occured) | | | Marginal Revenue is a concept important in basic microeconomics. | | | Marginal Revenue is the extra revenue that an additional unit of product will bring a firm. |

| | Marginal revenue is additional revenue, as marginal cost is additional cost: revenue and cost added to the revenue already earned and the costs already incurred. | | | The net income from the pricing policy will be the area under the marginal revenue curve up to the profit-maximizing quantity minus the area under the marginal cost curve up to that quantity. | | | For government-owned enterprises, however, marginal revenue may be available from the taxpayer. |

| | Marginal profit is the difference between marginal revenue and marginal cost, and always exceeds zero at the profit-maximizing activity level. | | | Marginal profit equals marginal revenue minus marginal cost, and equals zero at the profit maximizing activity level. | | | Prior to this point, the marginal revenue associated with additional sales exceeds their associated marginal cost, marginal profit is positive, and total profit rises with an expansion in output. |

| | Chapter 12 Discussion |
| | Marginal revenue is less than the price because to sell more output, the owners must lower the price of their product. | | | This loss in revenue must be subtracted from the gain to get the net change, that is, to get the marginal revenue. | | | Because the amount of revenue gained equals the price, subtracting something from it lowers the marginal revenue so that it less than the price. |

| | profit maximization - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about profit maximization |
| | Profits are maximized when the marginal cost of production is equal to the marginal revenue from sales. | | | If marginal costs are below marginal revenue, output could be expanded in order to gain extra profit from the extra or marginal unit of output. | | | If, on the other hand, marginal costs are above marginal revenue, the firm is making a loss on the last or marginal unit of output produced. |

| | Revenue maximization is a goal for firms in which they work to maximize their total revenue rather than profits. | | | The marginal revenue curve is a curve showing the relationship between the quantity a firm sells and the revenue yielded by the last unit sold. | | | Since marginal revenue curves are derived from demand curves, whenever the demand curve shifts, the marginal revenue curve also shifts. |
