What to Focus On
- Perfect competition has four features: many buyers and sellers, homogeneous product, free entry and exit, and perfect information.
- A perfectly competitive firm is a price taker.
- A firm can sell any amount at the market price, but cannot sell at a higher price.
- TR is price multiplied by quantity.
- AR equals total revenue per unit of output and equals market price for a price taker.
- MR is the increase in total revenue from one more unit of output.
- Profit = TR - TC.
- Profit maximisation requires MR = MC.
- For perfect competition, profit maximisation becomes P = MC.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Under perfect competition, a firm can choose any price it wants and still sell output.
Average revenue and marginal revenue are different for a perfectly competitive firm.
Profit maximisation means only P = MC is needed.
