Two Approaches... The Decision Process: Should the firm produce? SHORT RUN PROFIT MAXIMIZATION Two Approaches... First: Total-Revenue -Total Cost Approach The Decision Process: Should the firm produce? What quantity should be produced? What profit or loss will be realized? The Decision Rule: Produce in the short-run if it can realize 1- A profit (or) 2- A loss less than its fixed costs

Applied Graphically… Two Approaches... The Decision Process: SHORT RUN PROFIT MAXIMIZATION Applied Graphically… Two Approaches... First: Total-Revenue -Total Cost Approach The Decision Process: Should the firm produce? What quantity should be produced? What profit or loss will be realized? The Decision Rule: Produce in the short-run if it can realize 1- A profit (or) 2- A loss less than its fixed costs
