  • Total Revenue and the Revenue Function

Marginal Revenue

Marginal revenue (MR) is the additional revenue a firm gets from selling one more unit of its product. For discrete changes in output, it is calculated as the change in total revenue (ΔR) divided by the change in quantity (ΔQ), using the formula MR=ΔRΔQMR = \frac{\Delta R}{\Delta Q}. When treating quantity (Q) as a continuous variable, calculus is employed. In this context, marginal revenue is defined as the rate at which total revenue changes in response to an infinitesimal increase in quantity, which corresponds to the derivative of the total revenue function.

  • A firm's market is described by the inverse demand function P = 50 - 2Q, where P is the price per unit and Q is the quantity of units sold. Based on this function, the firm will generate the same amount of total revenue whether it sells 10 units or 15 units.
