Revenue Flashcards
Total revenue
- TR=Q x P
-total amount of money received from the sale of any good
Average revenue
- AR= TR/Q
-the average receipt per unit sold. And is the total revenue divided by the quantity sold
Marginal reveune
- MR= change in total revenue/ change in total output
- is the receipts from selling an extra unit of output.
Why does the average revenue curve=demand curve
1) Total revenue=price x Quantity
2) Average revenue= price x quantity/quantity
3) Quantity cancels out and we are left with
- average revenue=price
4)The demand curve shows the quantity demanded for a good at any given price at any given time
-therefore,the average revenue curve is the same as the demand curve
