Profit maximizing Level of Output
The goal of the firm is to maximize profit. Profit is difference between Revenue total and cost total.
What will be happened with profit as a response in the change of output is determined by Marginal Revenue (MR) and Marginal Cost (MC)
A firm maximizes profit when MC=MR
- Marginal Revenue (MR) is changes revenue total related to changes in quantity.
- Marginal Cost (MC) is changes cost total related to changes in quantity.
- Actors in Perfectly Competitive Market receive the market price (P) as a given
- So, Marginal revenue as same as with price (MR=P)
- In the beginning marginal cost dropped and then started to rise.
- To maximize profit a firm must produces when marginal cost as same as marginal revenue (MC=MR)
