revenue equation is known as the marginal revenue (MR) and it represents the change in revenue by increasing the sales of a product (pblpathways.com). Marginal cost (MC) is the additional cost added to increase the quantity of a product (pblpathways.com). Ideally, the marginal cost and the marginal revenue will add to a difference of zero because a company wants to maximize the amount of products they sale to maximize the revenue without adding an outstanding additional cost to produce this product.
that it can increase labor productivity and, therefore, net revenue by reducing air pollution in its mines. It estimates that the marginal cost function for reducing pollution by installing additional capital equipment is MC = 40P where P represents a reduction of one unit of pollution in the mines. It also feels that for every unit of pollution reduction the marginal increase in revenue (MR) is MR = 1,000 - 10P How much pollution reduction should Appalachian Coal Mining undertake? Set MC = MR
direct say on what the firm charges on a given product; however, the firm can control the quantity supply to the market. According to Slack & Lewis, success or failure depends on how a pure competitive market lies, and how a company controls production cost and portrays it brand.

The organization must first develop ways to carry out the operation. This
also due to the relatively higher elasticity of demand in low-income countries.) Sold in the market at a uniform price, the total revenue (price x quantity) for the drug companies is thus maximized. The surplus of revenue over marginal manufacturing costs would fund the sunk costs (of R&D and factory building) and any profits. Rationale for Lower Prices Price Discrimination 9 However, with mounting pressures from the public to provide greater access to the drugs especially to the lower-income
