    This means "Teaching" -passing the konwledge in acceptable manner. Unfortunately many instructors come to classes just to show off themselves, leave rules for students and to grade students work. Some of them urge students to ask questions if in doubt, the problem is how can you ask something you dont know?????

    Hi Jodie,
    Is this applicable to a service business?

  • @johnnolen8338
    @johnnolen8338 4 года назад

    To be perfectly thorough you'd have to check the profit at the end points of the interval as well as at the critical points in the middle; i.e. where d[Profit]/dq = 0. In other words, it might be the case that absolute maximum profit occurs for the very first unit produced or for the very last. You don't know until you check. Besides, I find the idea of one - and - done very appealing for some reason.

    Suppose you are considering growing and selling maize and you are operating within a competitive market with no influence over price. Assume the current price of maize $70 per 100 kg and the short run cost function, where Q represents bags of maize per year is:
    TC = 800 + 16Q + Q2
    What is the profit maximizing output?
    Calculate the profit for the output you got in (a) above?
    Based on the rule that a firm should produce only if it covers its variable costs of production, what quantity should be produced to cover variable costs?
    How much are the fixed costs of this business? need help with is

    Great video! I have a question on your graph. Why would a firm produce 3 units for the same profit, if they can produce 2 units for a higher revenue. To me, "Why not?" doesn't sound right if I'm losing revenue for no profit. Are there other factors that would make a production of 3 units a better choice? Are 3 units made just to satisfy more consumers? I feel like I'm missing something.

  • @ScreeninonStreamin
    @ScreeninonStreamin 8 лет назад

    I dont get the very last part. It seems that you were saying the partial derivatives of TR, and TC were just equal to MR and MC. I would like it if you did a calculus version of the last part of the video using functions.

    • @owensechrist1315
      @owensechrist1315 8 лет назад

      +Screenin' on Streamin' I'll do my best to explain it here....
      If you take the dervivative of Profit and set it equal to 0, you can find the profit maximizing Q & P
      If Profit = TR - TC then d/dq [Profit] = d/dq [TR - TC] = d/dq [TR] -d/dq [TC]
      Note that d/dq[TR] is MR & d/dq[TC] is MC
      So setting the derivative of the profit function equal to zero is the same as setting MR-MC=0 then add MC to both sides you get MR=MC
      Example: P = 20 - Q (demand equation, and average revenue) and C = 5 + Q^1.3 (average total cost)
      TR = P*Q = (20 - Q)*Q = 20Q - Q^2
      MR = d/dQ [TR] = d/dQ [ 20Q - Q^2] = 20 - 2Q
      TC = C*Q = (5 + Q^1.3)*Q = 5Q + Q^2.3
      MC = d/dQ [TC] = d/dQ [ 5Q + Q^2.3] = 5+2.3Q^1.3
      So now you can see that you can either take the TR equation - TC equation, differentiate that and set it equal to zero; or you can set MR=MC (which are both derivatives of TR and TC respectively), and in either case you will get the same profit maximizing value for Q

    Pretty good. You should also show the profit / revenue / cost graphs showing the optimal quantity & price levels at the maximum (or minimum). It's more work of course but your camera and editing skills should be up to it :)

  • @tuliokonsta9766
    @tuliokonsta9766 9 лет назад

    For my economics class, I'm supposed to calculate the same as you did in the model below.
    Output Price (£) Total cost (£)
    0 20 10
    1 18 15
    2 16 18
    3 14 20
    4 12 27
    5 10 41
    From this table, by the first method I could find that the output level to maximize profit is 3. However, when I try doing by MR = MC I can't get the result!!! For MR to output 3 I'm getting 10 and for MC to output 3 I'm getting 2 :/
    Can you please help me with that???

    If you can make the same profit making 1 unit more then infrastructure is set up for the higher quantity. If demand suddenly increases then the sales price can increase, you already have production to accommodate the increase in demand and price. Easier to make less of something then more, quickly.
