For example, if the price is $6, then the total revenue of selling 10 units is $60 and the total revenue of selling 11 units is $66. Marginal revenue, ªTR/ªQ = (66-60)/(11-10) = $6.

Total Revenue (R) from the sale of x units = R(x): R(x) = (price per unit)(# of units) R(x) = (price per unit)(x) b. Total Cost (C) of production and sale of x units = C(x): C(x) = (cost per unit)(x) + fixed costs Total cost is made up of 2 parts: 1. fixed costs (e.g. rent, utilities, etc) 2. variable costs (costs directly related to the number of units produced) c.

price above marginal cost and earn a positive profit. The degree to which Julivee can raise price above marginal cost depends on the shape of the demand curve at the profit maximizing output. That is, elasticity is the critical factor in determining market power. In this case, the demand elasticity for movie theater/entertainment was not given. Thus, they can only compute how they would charge or price the tickets depending on it and determine at what rate it would be above the marginal cost. B
