| | Profit maximization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 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. | | | To obtain the profit maximizing output quantity, jwe start by recognizing that profit is equal to total revenue minus total cost. | | | Since total profit increases when marginal profit is positive and total profit decreases when marginal profit is negative, it must reach a maximum where marginal profit is zero - or where marginal cost equals marginal revenue. |

| | It is sometimes called the marginal profit and (as we observed in studying consumers' marginal benefits) the absolute value of the marginal profits is a measure of unrealized potential profits. | | | This difference between the VMP and the wage is the increase or decrease in profits from adding or subtracting one unit of labor. | | | The formula VMP=wage is a diagnostic for maximum profits because it tells us that there is no further potential to increase the profits by adjusting the labor input -- marginal profit is zero. |

| | Five prominent managerial behavior premises are that managers attempt (a) to maximize profits; (b) to optimize profits subject to various constraints; (c) to optimize some growth phenomenon subject to a profit requirement as a constraint; (d) to satisfice with respect to profit; and (e) to mediate among competing constituencies. | | | The student of managerial economics should recognize from the outset that the unbridled pursuit of profit in any short-run setting could be detrimental to the earning of profit in any subsequent period (each future setting is of course its own short run), or even to the survival of the enterprise in the long run. | | | Baldwin, concerned primarily with the "typical large corporation," concludes the profit maximization premise to be satisfactory; yet the corporate form of business organization accounts for only about seventeen percent of all business firms in the American economy. |

| | Maximization Debates |
| | The Oxford results were accompanied by a paper from Harrod (1939) which argued that perhaps profit- maximization was not observed in many firms partly because the necessary information - marginal revenue and costs - for such calculations was hard to obtain. | | | Alchian (1953) responds quite clearly that Penrose confused intended profits and realized profits: the selection procedure is simply on the basis of realized profits that permit a firm to continue operating; it is not necesary that they actually search for them. | | | Furthermore, even if they did not have their roots in conscious decisions, one must be careful about the meaning of marginalist analysis: as Machlup notes, there are many factors which may affect profits and thus, as many traditional relations implied by profit maximization (e.g. |

| | Moreover, if profit maximization is a good proxy for utility maximization, then there is no need for a general equilibrium analysis that takes the distribution of profits among consumers fully into account and partial equilibrium analysis suffices. | | | Since profit maximization tends to raise proces, it may be regarded as beneficial for the owners as a whole. | | | We consider oligopolistic markets in which the notion of shareholders' utility is well-defined and compare the Bertrand-Nash equilibria in case of utility maximization with those under the usual profit maximization hypothesis. |
