LRMC CURVE: The common abbreviation for the long-run marginal cost curve, which is the graphical representation of the relationship between long-run marginal cost and the quantity of output produced. Like other marginal curves, the long-run marginal cost curve follows the average-marginal rule relative to the long-run average cost curve. In all outward appearance, the long-run marginal cost curve looks very much like the short-run marginal cost, that is, it is U-shaped. However, the U-shape is attributable to returns to scale rather than increasing and decreasing marginal returns.

- A handy way to analyze this type of market interdependence is through game theory.
- Game theory is an analysis that illustrates how the choices between two players affect the outcomes of a "game."
- Assume the market has only two firms, OmniCola and Juice-Up.
- Each is thinking about spending $50 million on advertising.
- This table presents alternative outcomes for different advertising choices by OmniCola and Juice-Up:
- If OmniCola and Juice-Up BOTH decide to advertising, then each receives $200 million in profit.
- However, if NEITHER OmniCola or Juice-Up decide to advertising, then each receives $250 million in profit.
- Alternatively, if OmniCola advertises but Juice-Up does not, then OmniCola receives $350 million in profit and Juice-Up receives only $100 in profit.
- But, if Juice-Up advertises and OmniCola does not, then Juice-Up receives $350 million in profit and OmniCola receives only $100 in profit.
- What to do?
- The end result is that both firms decide to advertise.
