  2. Total revenue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_revenue

    Price and total revenue have a negative relationship when demand is elastic (price elasticity > 1), which means that increases in price will lead to decreases in total revenue. Price changes will not affect total revenue when the demand is unit elastic (price elasticity = 1). Maximum total revenue is achieved where the elasticity of demand is 1.

  3. Total revenue test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_revenue_test

    In economics, the total revenue test is a means for determining whether demand is elastic or inelastic. If an increase in price causes an increase in total revenue, then demand can be said to be inelastic, since the increase in price does not have a large impact on quantity demanded. If an increase in price causes a decrease in total revenue ...

  4. Inverse demand function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_demand_function

    The marginal revenue function has twice the slope of the inverse demand function. [9] The marginal revenue function is below the inverse demand function at every positive quantity. [10] The inverse demand function can be used to derive the total and marginal revenue functions. Total revenue equals price, P, times quantity, Q, or TR = P×Q.

  6. Profit maximization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profit_maximization

    Profit maximization using the total revenue and total cost curves of a perfect competitor. To obtain the profit maximizing output quantity, we start by recognizing that profit is equal to total revenue minus total cost (). Given a table of costs and revenues at each quantity, we can either compute equations or plot the data directly on a graph.

  7. Break-even point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Break-even_point

    The total cost, total revenue, and fixed cost curves can each be constructed with simple formula. For example, the total revenue curve is simply the product of selling price times quantity for each output quantity. The data used in these formula come either from accounting records or from various estimation techniques such as regression analysis.

  8. Profit (economics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profit_(economics)

    In economics, profit is the difference between revenue that an economic entity has received from its outputs and total costs of its inputs, also known as surplus value. [1] It is equal to total revenue minus total cost, including both explicit and implicit costs.

  9. Output (economics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Output_(economics)

    In economics, output is the quantity and quality of goods or services produced in a given time period, within a given economic network, [1] whether consumed or used for further production. [2] The economic network may be a firm, industry, or nation. The concept of national output is essential in the field of macroeconomics.
