Types of Revenue
1. Total Revenue
2. Average Revenue
3. Marginal Revenue
Total Revenue
TR is defined as the total or aggregate of
proceeds to the firm from the sale of a
commodity.
Symbolically,
TR = P X Q
P = Price
Q = Quantity
Average Revenue
Average Revenue is the revenue per unit of
output sold.
Symbolically,
AR = TR
Q
Or, AR = P X Q
Q
Or, AR = P
AR is always identical with the price.
Marginal Revenue
Marginal Revenue is the revenue received by selling one
extra unit of output.
OR
Marginal Revenue is the addition made to total revenue
when one more unit of output is sold.
MR = Change in Total Revenue
Change in Quantity Sold

Optimal production
Optimal production(in terms of
maximizing profits) occurs when the
marginal cost of an additional input is
exactly equal to the marginal revenue
received in response.
'Economies Of Scale
Economies of scale is the cost advantage that arises with
increased output of a product.Economiesof scale arise
because of the inverse relationship between the quantity
produced and per-unit fixed costs.
Economies of scale can be classified into two main
types:Internal arising from within the company;
