  2. Average cost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average_cost

    If the firm is a perfect competitor in all input markets, and thus the per-unit prices of all its inputs are unaffected by how much of the inputs the firm purchases, then it can be shown [1] [2] [3] that at a particular level of output, the firm has economies of scale (i.e., is operating in a downward sloping region of the long-run average cost ...

  3. Price-consumption curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Price-consumption_curve

    At each price there is a single corresponding quantity of either good. Due to this, by modeling the good with the changing price as any particular good and the good with the unchanging price as all other goods, the price-consumption curve can be used to construct an individual's demand curve for any particular good. [1]

  4. Law of demand - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_demand

    The formula to solve for the coefficient of price elasticity of demand is the percentage change in quantity demanded divided by the percentage change in Price. = / / Price elasticity of demand can be classified as elastic, inelastic, or unitary.

    It was inadequate for that purpose. In particular, if the price of any of the constituents were to fall to zero, the whole index would fall to zero. That is an extreme case; in general the formula will understate the total cost of a basket of goods (or of any subset of that basket) unless their prices all change at the same rate.

  6. Supply and demand - Wikipedia

    Supply chain as connected supply and demand curves. In microeconomics, supply and demand is an economic model of price determination in a market.It postulates that, holding all else equal, the unit price for a particular good or other traded item in a perfectly competitive market, will vary until it settles at the market-clearing price, where the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied ...

    If the firm is a perfect competitor in all input markets, and thus the per-unit prices of all its inputs are unaffected by how much of the inputs the firm purchases, then it can be shown that at a particular level of output, the firm has economies of scale (i.e., is operating in a downward sloping region of the long-run average cost curve) if ...

  8. Supply (economics) - Wikipedia

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

    A supply schedule is a table which shows how much one or more firms will be willing to supply at particular prices under the existing circumstances. [1] Some of the more important factors affecting supply are the good's own price, the prices of related goods, production costs, technology, the production function, and expectations of sellers.

  9. Law of value - Wikipedia

    which lowers the cost-price per unit of product in the total turnover, yet provides a superior profit rate on capital invested, even if the selling price is below the normal valuation. Such price-cutting competition is limited in scope however, because if competitors adopt the same production methods, the productivity advantage will disappear.
