AMEX: The common abbreviation for the American Stock Exchange, which is one of three national stock markets in the United States (see National Association of Securities Dealers and New York Stock Exchange) that trade ownership shares in corporations. In terms of daily stock transactions and the number of stocks listed, the American Stock Exchange is the smallest of these three. However, it's composite index of stock prices -- AMEX is considered important enough to be flashed briefly on the nightly news.

- Conditions to maximize profit by adjustment plant size in the long run:
- Long-Run Profit Maximization: First, the firm maximizes its profit in the long run by equating marginal revenue (MR) and long-run marginal cost (LRMC).
- Short-Run Profit Maximization: Second, the firm maximizes its profit in the short run by equating marginal revenue (MR) and short-run marginal cost (SRMC).
- Marginal Cost Equality: Third, combining the first two conditions, means that the firm has equality between short-run marginal cost (SRMC) and long-run marginal cost (LRMC).
- Efficient Plant Size: Fourth, the firm has also selected the most efficient plant size for short-run production given its long-run scale of operations. In other words, his short-run average total cost (SRATC) and long-run average cost (LRAC) are also equal.
