Margin vs markup?

margin vs markup As every coin has two sides, likewise, margin and markup are two accounting terms which refers to the two ways of looking at business profit. When the profit is addressed as the percentage of sales, it is called profit margin. Conversely, when profit is addressed as a percentage of cost, it is called as markup. While markup is nothing but an amount by which the cost of the product is increased by the seller to cover the expenses and profit and arrive at its selling price. On the other hand, the margin is simply the percentage of selling price i.e. profit. It is the difference between the selling price and cost price of the product. The terms margin and markup are very commonly juxtaposed by many accounting students, however, they are not one and the same thing.

Difference between average revenue and marginal revenue?

"Average revenue", for a specific level of sales, is the total revenue divided by the number of units sold, or in other words, revenue per unit, or, simply, "price". This average is over the entire sales in a given time period, market, etc. "Marginal revenue" is "average revenue" evaluated at every possible level of sales. You see, the more you sell, the lower the price will be, according to the law of demand. If you sell 1,000 widgets, you may get $1 apiece for them, but if you sell 10,000 of them, you may have to lower the price to 90 cents to sell them all. Of course, if the market is perfectly competitive (you have lots of competitors selling widgets), then you alone can't affect the price very much with your change in output, and the Marginal Revenue is, essentially, constant, at least over the relevant range of level of sales. However, even in perfect competition, you could, theoretically, increase your sales so much that you dominate all of your competitors, and then you would have to lower your price to sell all of your widgets. The thing is, under perfect competition, everyone is operating exactly at the level of sales where marginal cost is equal to marginal revenue, so if your marginal revenue goes down, your marginal profit becomes negative. So you won't do that. In fact, this concept of marginal revenue (when compared to marginal cost) is exactly the mechanism that ensures you don't try to dominate a perfectly competitive market. (If the market is a monopoly, or oligopoly, however, all bets are off. For that matter, even if a market is otherwise perfectly competitive (large number of firms) but entry and exit are not free (say, large start-up costs), a firm with deep enough pockets can put everyone else out of business by over-producing for a while and driving the price down to where all firms are losing money, then raise the price back up, to even above the previous price, once it becomes a monopoly.)


In a monopoly why is the marginal revenue curve always below the demand curve?

because price and output are related by the demand function in a monopoly. it is the same thing to choose optimal price or to choose the optimal output. even though the monopolist is assumed to set price and consumers choose quantity as a function of price, we can think of the monopolist as choosing the optimal quantity it wants consumers to buy and then setting the corresponding price. OR in simpler terms Because AR (demand) is downward sloping - (see equi-marginal rule or Law of Equi-Marginal Utility). To sell one more unit of output, the firm must lower its price, meaning that the revenue received is less than that received for the previous unit (marginal revenue received for unit 2 is less than that for unit 1). Therefor the marginal revenue will be less than the average revenue. Unit 1 sold for $5 Marginal revenue=$5 Average Revenue=$5 Unit 2 sold for $4 Marginal revenue=$4 Average Revenue=$4.50 ($5+$4/2)


What is the distinction between marginal revenue product and marginal revenue?

I'm thinking that marginal revenue product is the marginal revenue on one product, and marginal revenue is the marginal revenue on the whole firm sales... I'm wondering the same thing but the above response is incorrect. both terms imply values on one item as indicated by the "marginal"

Profit Maximization is a process that companies undergo to determine the best output and price levels in order to maximize its return. Companies usually adjust production costs, sale prices, and output levels as a way of reaching its profit goal.
