price = marginal revenue. marginal revenue > average revenue. price > marginal cost. total revenue > marginal co
price eqilibrium in market is determined by demand and supply of the production.
Because in Pure Competition, Demand equals Price, and Price equals Marginal Revenue;hence, Demand equals Marginal revenue.
The marginal revenue of selling an additional unit of output for a price setter (hence within an imperfect market) is always less than market price. Picture a downwards sloping market demand curve (hence individual monopolies demand curve); at P=6, Q=2, and at P=5, Q=3. To sell an additional unit of output, the firm must drop price from 6 to 5, meaning the total revenue will increase from (6x2)=12 to (5x3)=15. This increase in revenue (marginal revenue) is $3. Note $3 is not only smaller than the original price, but than the new price as well. Hence, price is always greater than marginal revenue for a price setter.
Marginal Cost = Marginal Revenue, or the derivative of the Total Revenue, which is price x quantity.

Marginal Cost = Marginal Revenue, or the derivative of the Total Revenue, which is price x quantity.
Under Perfect competition , Marginal revenue is constant and equal to the prevailing market price, since all units are sold at the same price. Thus in pure competition MR = AR = P.
Price elasticity of demand is a way to determine marginal revenue. Optimal revenue and, more importantly, optimal profit will occur to the point when marginal revenue = marginal cost, or the price elasticity of demand < 1.
When Demand is perfectly elastic, Marginal Revenue is identical with price.
no,marginal revenue cannot be ever negative.this condition is only applies when price effect is on the revenue is greater than output effect
AnswerFor a perfectly competitive firm with no market control, the marginal revenue curve is a horizontal line. Because a perfectly competitive firm is a price taker and faces a horizontal demand curve, its marginal revenue curve is also horizontal and coincides with its average revenue (and demand) curve. Yes - what you must remember is that a firm's demand curve in perfect competition is its average revenue curve. Average revenue = price x quantity / quantity = price. The demand curve shows the quantity demanded at varying prices and this is exactly what the average revenue curve will do.Because there are so many sellers in the market, no one firm has enough market power to influence price (if a firm tried to raise price consumers would move to different suppliers; nobody would buy the good), therefore price is determined by industry supply and demand, and a firm can produce any quantity at this price . This means that the firm faces a horizontal average revenue (demand curve) and if average revenue is constant, this means total revenue is increasing at a constant rate, and therefore marginal revenue is constant as well.
marginal revenue always lies behind the demand curve,and when demand increases marginal revenue also increases.demand curve is used to determine price of a commodity.
