  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. 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 ...

  4. Price optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price_optimization

    Price optimization utilizes data analysis to predict the behavior of potential buyers to different prices of a product or service. Depending on the type of methodology being implemented, the analysis may leverage survey data (e.g. such as in a conjoint pricing analysis [7]) or raw data (e.g. such as in a behavioral analysis leveraging 'big data' [8] [9]).

  5. Economic graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_graph

    The graph depicts an increase (that is, right-shift) in demand from D 1 to D 2 along with the consequent increase in price and quantity required to reach a new equilibrium point on the supply curve (S). A common and specific example is the supply-and-demand graph shown at right.

  6. Auction algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auction_algorithm

    The original form of the auction algorithm is an iterative method to find the optimal prices and an assignment that maximizes the net benefit in a bipartite graph, the maximum weight matching problem (MWM). [2] [3] This algorithm was first proposed by Dimitri Bertsekas in 1979.

  7. Cost curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_curve

    The total cost curve, if non-linear, can represent increasing and diminishing marginal returns.. The short-run total cost (SRTC) and long-run total cost (LRTC) curves are increasing in the quantity of output produced because producing more output requires more labor usage in both the short and long runs, and because in the long run producing more output involves using more of the physical ...

  8. 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

  9. Lerner index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lerner_Index

    the price elasticity of demand for goods produced by the company — the smaller the fluctuations in demand under the influence of prices, the smaller the elasticity and the greater the value of L; the interaction with competitors — the more of them and the larger their size, the less the company's ability to maximize profits and the smaller ...
