GOOD TYPES: We can identify four different types of goods based on two key characteristics -- rival consumption and excludability. Private that are rival in consumption and easily subject to the exclusion of nonpayers. Public goods that are nonrival in consumption and the exclusion of nonpayers is virtually impossible. Near-public goods that are nonrival in consumption and easily subject to the exclusion. Common-property goods that are rival in consumption and not easily subject to the exclusion.

Lesson 16: Perfect Competition | Unit 2: Short-Run Output Page: 6 of 28

Topic: The Revenue Side <=PAGE BACK | PAGE NEXT=>

  • Understanding the revenue side of perfect competition involves three related revenue measures:

  • total revenue.

  • Total revenue is the revenue received by a firm from the sale of output, calculated as the price times quantity.
  • Consider the definition of average revenue.

  • Average revenue is the revenue received by a firm per unit of output sold, which can be calculated as total revenue divided by quantity.
  • The third revenue concept is marginal revenue.

  • Marginal revenue is the addition to total revenue resulting from the sale of additional output, which is calculated as the change in total revenue divided by the change in output.
