  2. Profit maximization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profit_maximization

    If, contrary to what is assumed in the graph, the firm is not a perfect competitor in the output market, the price to sell the product at can be read off the demand curve at the firm's optimal quantity of output. This optimal quantity of output is the quantity at which marginal revenue equals marginal cost.

  3. Economic batch quantity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_batch_quantity

    This graph should give a better understanding of the derivation of the optimal ordering quantity equation, i.e., the EBQ equation. Thus, variables Q, R, S, C, I can be defined, which stand for economic batch quantity, annual requirements, preparation and set-up cost each time a new batch is started, constant cost per piece (material, direct ...

  4. Economic production quantity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_production_quantity

    This figure graphs the holding cost and ordering cost per year equations. The third line is the addition of these two equations, which generates the total inventory cost per year. This graph should give a better understanding of the derivation of the optimal ordering quantity equation, i.e., the EPQ equation

  5. Expansion path - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expansion_path

    In economics, an expansion path (also called a scale line [1]) is a path connecting optimal input combinations as the scale of production expands. [2] It is often represented as a curve in a graph with quantities of two inputs, typically physical capital and labor , plotted on the axes.

  6. Economic order quantity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_order_quantity

    Economic order quantity (EOQ), also known as financial purchase quantity or economic buying quantity, [citation needed] is the order quantity that minimizes the total holding costs and ordering costs in inventory management. It is one of the oldest classical production scheduling models.

  7. Economic graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_graph

    A common and specific example is the supply-and-demand graph shown at right. This graph shows supply and demand as opposing curves, and the intersection between those curves determines the equilibrium price. An alteration of either supply or demand is shown by displacing the curve to either the left (a decrease in quantity demanded or supplied ...

  8. Socially optimal firm size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socially_optimal_firm_size

    For suppose a particular firm with the illustrated long-run average cost curve is faced with the market price P indicated in the upper graph. The firm produces at the quantity of output where marginal cost equals marginal revenue (labeled Q in the upper graph), and its per-unit economic profit is the difference between average revenue AR and ...

  9. Inverse demand function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_demand_function

    This is useful because economists typically place price (P) on the vertical axis and quantity (demand, Q) on the horizontal axis in supply-and-demand diagrams, so it is the inverse demand function that depicts the graphed demand curve in the way the reader expects to see.
