  2. Profit maximization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profit_maximization

    The profit maximization issue can also be approached from the input side. That is, what is the profit maximizing usage of the variable input? [13] To maximize profit the firm should increase usage of the input "up to the point where the input's marginal revenue product equals its marginal costs". [14]

  3. Cournot competition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cournot_competition

    The firms are economically rational and act strategically, usually seeking to maximize profit given their competitors' decisions. An essential assumption of this model is the "not conjecture" that each firm aims to maximize profits, based on the expectation that its own output decision will not have an effect on the decisions of its rivals.

  4. Long run and short run - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_run_and_short_run

    In the short-run, a profit-maximizing firm will: Increase production if marginal cost is less than marginal revenue (added revenue per additional unit of output); Decrease production if marginal cost is greater than marginal revenue;

  5. Perfect competition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_competition

    Profit maximization of sellers: Firms sell where the most profit is generated, where marginal costs meet marginal revenue. Well defined property rights: These determine what may be sold, as well as what rights are conferred on the buyer. Zero transaction costs: Buyers and sellers do not incur costs in making an exchange of goods.

  6. Monopolistic competition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopolistic_competition

    A firm making profits in the short run will nonetheless only break even in the long run because demand will decrease and average total cost will increase, meaning that in the long run, a monopolistically competitive company will make zero economic profit. This illustrates the amount of influence the company has over the market; because of brand ...

  7. Small but significant and non-transitory increase in price

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_but_significant_and...

    The problem arises from the fact that economic theory predicts that any profit-maximizing firm will set its prices at a level where demand for its product is elastic. Therefore, when a monopolist sets its prices at a monopoly level it may happen that two products appear to be close substitutes whereas at competitive prices they are not.

  9. Markup rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markup_rule

    Mathematically, the markup rule can be derived for a firm with price-setting power by maximizing the following expression for profit: = () where Q = quantity sold, P(Q) = inverse demand function, and thereby the price at which Q can be sold given the existing demand C(Q) = total cost of producing Q.
