  2. Control chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_chart

    Control charts are graphical plots used in production control to determine whether quality and manufacturing processes are being controlled under stable conditions. (ISO 7870-1) [1] The hourly status is arranged on the graph, and the occurrence of abnormalities is judged based on the presence of data that differs from the conventional trend or deviates from the control limit line.

  3. Utility maximization problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_maximization_problem

    The mathematical first order conditions for a maximum of the consumer problem guarantee that the demand for each good is homogeneous of degree zero jointly in nominal prices and nominal wealth, so there is no money illusion. When the prices of goods change, the optimal consumption of these goods will depend on the substitution and income effects.

  4. Profit maximization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profit_maximization

    The price that induces that quantity of output is the height of the demand curve at that quantity (denoted ). A generic derivation of the profit maximisation level of output is given by the following steps. Firstly, suppose a representative firm has perfect information about its profit, given by:

  5. 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 ...

  6. Diminishing returns - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diminishing_returns

    An example would be a factory increasing its saleable product, but also increasing its CO 2 production, for the same input increase. [2] The law of diminishing returns is a fundamental principle of both micro and macro economics and it plays a central role in production theory .

  7. Production function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Production_function

    The presence of increasing returns means that a one percent increase in the usage levels of all inputs would result in a greater than one percent increase in output; the presence of decreasing returns means that it would result in a less than one percent increase in output. Constant returns to scale is the in-between case.

  8. Expected utility hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expected_utility_hypothesis

    States: The specification of every aspect of the decision problem at hand or "A description of the world leaving no relevant aspect undescribed." [7] Events: A set of states identified by someone; Consequences: A consequence describes everything relevant to the decision maker's utility (e.g., monetary rewards, psychological factors, etc.)

  9. 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 ...
