13 SHORT RUN PROFIT MAXIMIZATION Two Approaches... First: Total-Revenue -Total Cost Approach The Decision Rule: Produce in the short-run if it can realize 1- A profit (or) 2- A loss less than its fixed costs The Decision Process: Should the firm produce? What quantity should be produced? What profit or loss will be realized?

14 SHORT RUN PROFIT MAXIMIZATION Two Approaches... First: Total-Revenue -Total Cost Approach The Decision Rule: Produce in the short-run if it can realize 1- A profit (or) 2- A loss less than its fixed costs The Decision Process: Should the firm produce? What quantity should be produced? What profit or loss will be realized? Applied Graphically…

18 SHORT RUN PROFIT MAXIMIZATION Two Approaches... First: Total-Revenue -Total Cost Approach Three Characteristics: The rule applies only if producing is preferred to shutting down Rule applies to all markets Rule can be restated P=MC Second: Marginal-Revenue -Marginal Cost Approach MR = MC Rule
