EGT1 Task 1 Lauren Treesh A. Profit Maximization 1. Total revenue to total cost is cost is calculated as, total revenue minus total cost, (TR-TC). As each unit is produced the total cost increases as well as the total revenue. However, at some point in producing additional units, the total revenue will exceed the total cost. At that point it becomes a loss. The point in which profit maximization has been met is highlighted in green in the chart below. This is the point in which the gap is the largest between the total revenue and the total cost. Quantity | TR | TC | TR-TC | 0 | $0.00 | $10.00 | -10 | 1 | $150.00 | $30.00 | 120 | 2 | $290.00 | $50.00 | 240 | 3 | $420.00 | $80.00 | 340 | 4 | $540.00 | $120.00 | 420 | 5 | $650.00 | $170.00 | 480 | 6 | $750.00 | $230.00 | 520 | 7 | $840.00 | $300.00 | 540 | 8 | $920.00 | $380.00 | 540 | 9 | $990.00 | $470.00 | 520 | 10 | $1050.00 | $570.00 | 480 | 11 | $1100.00 | $680.00 | 420 | 12 | $1140.00 | $800.00 | 340 | 13 | $1170.00 | $930.00 | 240 | 14 | $1190.00 | $1070.00 | 120 | 15 | $1200.00 | $1220.00 | -20 | 2. In marginal revenue to marginal cost looks at the amount each unit adds to the total revenue and the total cost, then compared. Once the marginal revenue is equal to the marginal cost, and then profit maximization has been met. Profit maximization is highlighted in green in the chart below to indicate profit maximization. Quantity | TR | TC | MR | MC | 0 | $0.00 | $10.00 | - | 10 | 1 | $150.00 | $30.00 | 150 | 20 | 2 | $290.00 | $50.00 | 140 | 20 | 3 | $420.00 | $80.00 | 130 | 30 | 4 | $540.00 | $120.00 | 120 | 40 | 5 | $650.00 | $170.00 | 110 | 50 | 6 | $750.00 | $230.00 | 100 | 60 | 7 | $840.00 | $300.00 | 90 | 70 | 8 | $920.00 | $380.00 | 80 | 80 | 9 | $990.00 | $470.00 | 70 | 90 | 10 | $1050.00 | $570.00 | 60 | 100 | 11 | $1100.00
