Students should be able to:
Understand the assumptions of perfect competition and be able to explain the behaviour of firms in this market structure.
Understand the significance of firms as price-takers in perfectly competitive markets. An understanding of the meaning of shut-down point is required. The impact of entry into and exit from the industry should be considered.

This presentation basically tells how the firm makes decisions in a competitive market. To make concepts here more understable, I have prepared graphs and mathematical equations.

MBA 681 Economics for Strategic Decisions
Prepared by Yun Wang
1. How does firm maximize profit.
2. Poduction decision in the perfect competitive market.
3. Production decision in monopolistic competitive market.
4. Production decision in oligopoly.
5. Production decision in monoply.
6. Two special models in oligopoly market.
1. How a Firm Maximizes Profit:
All firms try to maximize profits based on the following equation:
Profit = Total Revenue − Total Cost
The rules we have just developed for profit maximization are:
1. The profit-maximizing level of output is where the difference between total revenue and total
cost is greatest, and
2. The profit-maximizing level of output is also where MR = MC.
Notice: All of these rules do not require the assumption of market type; they are true for all
firms with different market structures (perfect competition, monopolistic competition,
oligopoly, monopoly)!
The Four Market Structures:Structures

Examples of
industries

Poultry farming
Clothing stores
Restaurants
Manufacturing computers
Manufacturing automobiles
First-class mail delivery
Providing tap water
2. Profit Determination in Perfect Competitive Market:
A firm maximizes profit at
the level of output at which
marginal revenue equals
marginal cost.
The difference between
price and average total cost
equals profit per unit of
output.
Total profit equals profit per
unit of output, times the
amount of output: the area
of the green rectangle on the
graph.
In the graph on the left, price
never exceeds average cost,
so the firm could not possibly
make a profit.
The best this firm can do is to
break even, obtaining no
profit but incurring no loss.
The MC = MR rule leads us to
this optimal level of
production.
The situation is even worse
for this firm; not only can it
not make a profit, price is
always lower than average
total cost, so it must make
a loss.
It makes the smallest loss
possible by again following
the MC = MR rule.
No other level of output
allows the firm’s loss to be
so small.
Identifying Whether a Firm Can Make a Profit
Once we have determined the quantity where MC = MR, we can immediately know
whether the firm is making a profit, breaking even, or making a loss. At that quantity,
• If P > ATC, the firm is making a profit
• If P = ATC, the firm is breaking even
• If P < ATC, the firm is making a loss
Even better: these statements hold true at every level of output.
However, if the price is too low, i.e. below the minimum point of
AVC, the firm will produce nothing at all.
The quantity supplied is zero below this point.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

2. Perfect Competition - An Ideal Firms are primarily distinguished from each other by the degree of competition they face: Perfect Competition Monopolistic Competition Monopoly Oligopoly Profit maximization. The Model of Perfect Competition. Allocative and Productive efficiencies. Long-run costs and adjustments
3. Profit Maximizing Rule No matter what kind of firm we are talking about, they will max. profit when:Marginal Revenue = Marginal Cost (MR) (MC) If MR > MC, you are foregoing profit. If MR < MC, you are foregoing profit.
4. Perfect Competition All goods are identical.--One cannot be (usefully) distinguished from another. Many buyers and sellers.--No one can affect price through their actions. There are no barriers to entry/exit.--Firms cannot earn economic profit in the long run. Buyers & sellers have perfect information.--A single price will prevail in the market.

7. $ MC ATC Pe MR = d q q* A Firm Scenario #1 - Positive Profit The ATC must be less than the price, so that calculated profit is positive. What will happen in this industry in the long run?
8. $ MC ATC Pe MR = d q q* Scenario #2 - Zero Econ Profit The ATC must be equal to the price, so that calculated profit is zero. What will happen in this industry in the long run? A Firm
9. $ MC ATC AVC Pe MR = d q q* A Firm Scenario #3 - Negative Profit I The ATC must be more than the price, so that calculated profit is negative. Will this firm stay in business in the short run?It depends . . . What will happen in this industry in the long run?

11. Perfect Competition & Efficiency Allocative Efficiency (What to produce?) occurs when Price = Marginal Cost Why ? Productive Efficiency (How to produce?) occurs where output level is at the minimum ATC Why ?
