RULE OF CONSUMER EQUILIBRIUM: A condition of consumer equilibrium and utility maximization stating that the marginal utility-price ratio for all goods are equal. This rule is a handy way of checking for consumer equilibrium and utility maximization. If the rule is not satisfied, then consumer equilibrium and utility maximization are not achieved.

The case of an increase in the AD curve. Let's start at long-run equilibrium. All three curves, AD, LRAS, and SRAS, intersect at the same long-run equilibrium values, Po and Qf.- With a rightward shift of the AD curve, the aggregate market achieves short-run equilibrium at a higher price level and more real production.
- The labor market imbalance causes wages and production cost to rise. The SRAS shifts leftward. It stops shifting when it intersects the new AD and the original LRAS curves for a new long-run equilibrium. The price level is even higher and real production returns to full employment.

MARGINAL REVENUE, PERFECT COMPETITION The change in total revenue resulting from a change in the quantity of output sold. Marginal revenue indicates how much extra revenue a perfectly competitive firm receives for selling an extra unit of output. It is found by dividing the change in total revenue by the change in the quantity of output. Marginal revenue is the slope of the total revenue curve and is one of two revenue concepts derived from total revenue. The other is average revenue. To maximize profit, a perfectly competitive firm equates marginal revenue and marginal cost.
