GNP: The abbreviation for gross national product, which is the total market value of all goods and services produced by the citizens of an economy during a given period of time, usually one year. Gross national product, often was once the federal government's official measure of how much output our economy produces. In the early 1990s, however, it was replaced by gross domestic product (GDP).

Topic: The Numbers <=PAGE BACK | PAGE NEXT=>

  • A monopolistic competitive firm is motivated by profit maximization.

  • Profit maximization is the presumption that firms make decisions and undertake production to achieve the highest possible level of economic profit, which is the difference between total revenue and total opportunity cost (including a normal profit).
  • With these numbers in place, the firm's profit-maximizing task is relatively straightforward -- to pick the production quantity associated with the highest amount of profit.

  • Three ways:

    • The Total Approach

    • Profit

    • The Marginal Approach

  • In all likelihood the firm will go ahead and produce the sixth unit. However, it will not produce the eighth unit.

The marginal revenue product curve plays a key role in marginal productivity theory and the economic analysis of factor markets.
