MR = MC Rule

The principle that a firm will maximize its profit (or minimize its losses) by producing the output at which marginal revenue and marginal cost are equal, provided product price is equal to or greater than average variable cost.

Pure Competition

Refers to a market structure where many sellers offer homogeneous products, and no single seller can influence the market price.

  • Familiarize oneself with the profit maximization criterion (MR=MC) and its relevance to monopolists as well as firms in a competitive setting.
