Week 5: Unit 7, paragraphs 7.1- 7.7
7.0 Introduction
A firm can maximise its profits in
many ways, for example:
- Apple sets high prices for
iPhones and iPads,
increasing its profits by
charging a price premium.
- Walmart is keeping the
price low. The low price
may attract so many
customers that total profit is
high.
The figure on the right illustrates
the key decisions that a firm makes.
7.1 Breakfast cereal: Choosing a
price
Demand curve: The curve that
gives the quantity consumers will
buy at each possible price.
The “best” method to investigate the potential demand curve of consumers is to vary the prices in the
question. For example: ‘Would you be willing to pay $1,000 for a 10-minute flight in space?’. Ask a
large number of consumers this question, and then you would be able to estimate the proportion of
people willing to pay each price. Hence you can estimate the whole demand curve.
To maximize your profit, you should produce exactly the quantity you expect to sell, and no more.
Then revenue, costs, and profit are given by:
total costs =unit cost × quantity
o =2×𝑄
Total revenue=price × quantity
o =𝑃×𝑄
Profit =total revenue−total costs
o =𝑃×𝑄 − 2×𝑄
So we have a formula for profit:
Profit = (𝑃−2) × 𝑄
This figure shows:
a number of isoprofit
curves for Cheerios.
The highest curve shows
that with every
combination you will
get $60,000 profit
