  2. Marginal revenue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marginal_revenue

    Marginal revenue is an important concept in vendor analysis. [6] [7] To derive the value of marginal revenue, it is required to examine the difference between the aggregate benefits a firm received from the quantity of a good and service produced last period and the current period with one extra unit increase in the rate of production. [8]

  3. Lindahl tax - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindahl_tax

    In the Lindahl Model, Dt represents the aggregate marginal benefit curve, which is the sum of Da and Db---the marginal benefits for the two individuals in the economy. In a Lindahl equilibrium, the optimal quantity of the public good will be where the social marginal benefit intersects the marginal cost (point P).

  4. Profit maximization - Wikipedia

    An example diagram of Profit Maximization: In the supply and demand graph, the output of is the intersection point of (Marginal Revenue) and (Marginal Cost), where =.The firm which produces at this output level is said to maximize profits.

  5. Marginal utility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marginal_utility

    Marginal considerations are considerations which concern a slight increase or diminution of the stock of anything which we possess or are considering. [4] Another way to think of the term marginal is the cost or benefit of the next unit used or consumed, for example the benefit that you might get from consuming a piece of chocolate.

  6. Marginal cost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marginal_cost

    In economics, the marginal cost is the change in the total cost that arises when the quantity produced is increased, i.e. the cost of producing additional quantity. [1] In some contexts, it refers to an increment of one unit of output, and in others it refers to the rate of change of total cost as output is increased by an infinitesimal amount.

  7. Deadweight loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadweight_loss

    Consumers with a marginal benefit of between $0.07 and $0.10 per nail would then buy nails, even though their benefit is less than the real production cost of $0.10. The difference between the cost of production and the purchase price then creates the "deadweight loss" to society.

  8. Inverse demand function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_demand_function

    The marginal revenue function is the first derivative of the total revenue function or MR = 120 - Q. Note that in this linear example the MR function has the same y-intercept as the inverse demand function, the x-intercept of the MR function is one-half the value of the demand function, and the slope of the MR function is twice that of the ...

  9. Economic efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_efficiency

    A market can be said to have allocative efficiency if the price of a product that the market is supplying is equal to the marginal value consumers place on it, and equals marginal cost. In other words, when every good or service is produced up to the point where one more unit provides a marginal benefit to consumers less than the marginal cost ...
