    In mathematics, more specifically in ring theory, a maximal ideal is an ideal that is maximal (with respect to set inclusion) amongst all proper ideals. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In other words, I is a maximal ideal of a ring R if there are no other ideals contained between I and R .

  3. Profit maximization - Wikipedia

    Generally, it is difficult to change the impact of the price according to the demand, because the demand may occur due to many other factors besides the price. The company may also have other goals and considerations. For example, companies may choose to earn less than the maximum profit in pursuit of higher market share. Because price ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_prices_and_ideal_prices

    The distinction between real prices and ideal prices is a distinction between actual prices paid for products, services, assets and labour (the net amount of money that actually changes hands), and computed prices which are not actually charged or paid in market trade, although they may facilitate trade. [1]

    The change in a Fisher index from one period to the next is the geometric mean of the changes in Laspeyres' and Paasche's indices between those periods, and these are chained together to make comparisons over many periods: = This is also called Fisher's "ideal" price index.

  6. Price elasticity of demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_elasticity_of_demand

    As the size of the price change gets bigger, the elasticity definition becomes less reliable for a combination of two reasons. First, a good's elasticity is not necessarily constant; it varies at different points along the demand curve because a 1% change in price has a quantity effect that may depend on whether the initial price is high or low.

  7. Prices of production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prices_of_production

    Arguably ideal prices could substitute for values in this analysis, but Marx's argument is that product-values will, ontologically speaking, really exist irrespective of corresponding product-prices, i.e. irrespective of whether product-values are actually being traded, whereas ideal prices do not really exist other than in computations; they ...

  8. Perfect competition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_competition

    Indeed, if everyone is price taker, there is the need for a benevolent planner who gives and sets the prices, in other word, there is a need for a "price maker". Therefore, it makes the perfect competition model appropriate not to describe a decentralized "market" economy but a centralized one.

  9. Market clearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_clearing

    A market-clearing price is the price of a good or service at which the quantity supplied equals the quantity demanded, also called the equilibrium price. [2] The theory claims that markets tend to move toward this price. Supply is fixed for a one-time sale of goods, so the market-clearing price is simply the maximum price at which all items can ...
