Economic vs. Accounting
Profits
Accounting Profits Total revenue (sales) minus dollar cost of producing
goods or services
Reported on the firms income statement
Economic Profits Total revenue minus total opportunity cost

Opportunity Cost
Accounting Costs The explicit costs of the resources needed to produce
produce goods or services
Reported on the firms income statement
Opportunity Cost The cost of the explicit andimplicit resources that are
foregone when a decision is made
Economic Profits Total revenue minus total opportunity cost

Market Interactions
Consumer-Producer Rivalry Consumers attempt to locate low prices, while producers
attempt to charge high prices
Consumer-Consumer Rivalry Scarcity of goods reduces the negotiating power of
consumers as they compete for the right to those goods
Producer-Producer Rivalry Scarcity of consumers causes producers to compete with
one another for the right to service customers
The Role of Government
Disciplines the market process

Firm Valuation
The value of a firm equals the present value
of all its future profits
PV = Spt / (1 + i)t
If profits grow at a constant rate, g < i, then: PV = po 1i) / ( i - g), po current profit level.
Maximizing Short-Term Profits If the growth rate in profits < interest rate and both
remain constant, maximizing the present value of all
future profits is the same as maximizing current profits.

Net Benefits
Net Benefits = Total Benefits - Total Costs
Profits = Revenue - Costs

Marginal Benefit (MB)
Change in total benefits arising from a
change in the control variable, Q:
MB = DB /DQ
Slope (calculus derivative) of the total
benefit curve

Marginal Cost (MC)
Change in total costs arising from a change
in the control variable, Q:
MC = DC /DQ
Slope (calculus derivative) of the total cost
curve

Marginal Principle
To maximize net benefits, the managerial
control variable should be increased up to
the point where MB = MC
MB > MC means the last unit of the control
variable increased benefits more than it
increased costs
MB < MC means the last unit of the controlvariable increased costs more than it
increased benefits

Summary
Make sure you include all costs and benefits
when making decisions (opportunity cost)
When decisions span time, make sure youare comparing apples to apples (PV
analysis)
Optimal economic decisions are made at themargin (marginal analysis)
