The Production Process:
The Behavior of Profit-maximizing Firms production The process by which inputs are combined, transformed, and turned into outputs. Production Is Not Limited to Firms r P not c udo P eh T A HCi r firm An organization that comes into being when a person or a group of people decides to produce a good or service to meet a perceived demand.

The Behavior of
Profit-Maximizing Firms All firms must make several basic decisions to achieve what we assume to be their primary objectiveâmaximum profits. r P not c udo P eh T A HCi r ï FIGURE 7.1 The Three Decisions That All Firms Must Make © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

The Behavior of
Profit-Maximizing Firms Profits and Economic Costs profit (economic profit) The difference between total revenue and total cost. profit = total revenue - total cost r P not c udo P eh T A HCi r total revenue The amount received from the sale of the product (q x P). © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Principles of Economics 9e by Case, Fair and Oster 9 of 42
10.
The Behavior of
Profit-Maximizing Firms Profits and Economic Costs total cost (total economic cost) The total of (1) out-of-pocket costs, (2) normal rate of return on capital, and (3) opportunity cost of each factor of production. The term profit will from here on refer to economic profit. So whenever we say profit = total revenue total cost, what we really mean is r P not c udo P eh T A HCi r economic profit = total revenue - total economic cost © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall Principles of Economics 9e by Case, Fair and Oster 10 of 42
11.
The Behavior of
Profit-Maximizing Firms Profits and Economic Costs Normal Rate of Return normal rate of return A rate of return on capital that is just sufficient to keep owners and investors satisfied. For relatively risk-free firms, it should be nearly the same as the interest rate on risk-free government bonds.

The Behavior of
Profit-Maximizing Firms Short-Run Versus Long-Run Decisions short run The period of time for which two conditions hold: The firm is operating under a fixed scale (fixed factor) of production, and firms can neither enter nor exit an industry. r P not c udo P eh T A HCi r long run That period of time for which there are no fixed factors of production: Firms can increase or decrease the scale of operation, and new firms can enter and existing firms can exit the industry. © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

The Behavior of
Profit-Maximizing Firms The Bases of Decisions: Market Price of Outputs, Available Technology, and Input Prices In the language of economics, I need to know three things: r P not c udo P eh T A HCi r 1. The market price of output 2. The techniques of production that are available 3. The prices of inputs Output price determines potential revenues. The techniques available tell me how much of each input I need, and input prices tell me how much they will cost. Together, the available production techniques and the prices of inputs determine costs. © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

In Figure 7.3(a), total product (sandwiches) is graphed as a function of labor inputs. The marginal product of labor is the additional output that one additional unit of labor produces. Figure 7.3(b) shows that the marginal product of the second unit of labor at the sandwich shop is 15 units of output; the marginal product of the fourth unit of labor is 5 units of output. © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.

Functions: Total Product, Marginal Product, And Average Product Marginal Product and the Law of Diminishing Returns marginal product The additional output that can be produced by adding one more unit of a specific input, ceteris paribus. r P not c udo P eh T A HCi r law of diminishing returns When additional units of a variable input are added to fixed inputs after a certain point, the marginal product of the variable input declines. Diminishing returns always apply in the short run, and in the short run every firm will face diminishing returns. This means that every firm finds it progressively more difficult to increase its output as it approaches capacity production. © 2009 Pearson Education, Inc.
