In the short run, firms can make profits due to price fluctuations and temporary market conditions, but in the long run, new firms can easily enter the market, increasing competition and driving down prices to the point where economic profits are reduced to zero.
the point where the marginal cost curve intersects the marginal revenue curve
Let the demand facing a firm for its product be expressed by the following functions Q=25-0.5P Where Q=quantity and P=price, and cost function as C=25-2Q+4Q2 Compute a) Profit maximizing output, b) Justify profit maximizing output
Until it reaches the point of diminishing returns. After that point, one additional unit of resources cannot be used profitably.
Break Even Point: It is the point where firm's at no profit no loss situation/position that's why it is called break-even point. So at this point firms has no profit no loss and it is the point where firm's able to achieved all expenses of operation and after this point whatever sales made by firm goes to profit of company.
In economics, normal profit is often called the break-even point. It is the level of profit where all of the costs of your business, including the salary of the CEO, are covered. When a firm has normal profit but not economic profit, the total revenue of the firm equals the total cost of the firm. However, if a firm has economic profit, total revenue is higher than total cost.
Profit organizations allocate resources based on maximizing profits and returns for shareholders, while not-for-profit organizations allocate resources towards achieving their mission or societal goals. Profit organizations focus on financial sustainability and growth, while not-for-profit organizations prioritize impact and social benefits. Profit organizations may also distribute profits to shareholders, whereas not-for-profit organizations reinvest any surplus into furthering their mission.
Waste reduction. Maximizing available supply fossil fuels.
This would be having exactly enough, but not too much of the product in demand. So you would be maximizing profit!
Firm equilibrium refers to a situation where a firm achieves a balance between its costs and revenues, maximizing profits. This is attained when the firm produces the level of output where marginal cost equals marginal revenue. It represents the point of optimization for the firm.
The firm is operating in Perfect markets. In perfect markets (Perfect competitions), the firm can maximize its profit when its MC is equal with its MR. And in perfect markets, usually the following condition is true: (MR = AR = P). So, in equilibrium which is also the profit maximizing point for a firm, the following condition is a must: MR = AR = P = MC.
Average cost: determines the accounting profit maximisation and minimal point where the firm can remain profitable. Marginal cost: determines economic profit maximisation and minimal 'shut-down' point where the firm should still operate, even if at an accounting loss. Note: Average cost (AC) and marginal cost (MC) are related. The rate of change of AC is always positive when MC is positive.
