Answer to Question #116088 in Microeconomics for Patti

Question

Differentiate between the terms revenue and profit. Assume that a firm sells 20 units of a good at a price of $4 per unit. If the average total cost of the firm is $2.50 per unit, calculate the firm’s profit.

Answer 1

Revenue= Price * Quantity

20 * 4= $80

Profit = Revenue - Cost

Cost = Average Cost * Quantity

2.5 * 20 = $50

Profit = 80 - 50 = $30

Profit = $30
