Cost
• Cost is defined as the money expenditure incurred by the producer to
purchase (or hire) factors of production and raw materials to produce
goods and services.
Types of cost
• (a) Fixed cost - fixed cost is defined as the expenditure, on hiring or
purchasing of fixed factors/ inputs, which are compulsory and has
nothing to do with the amount of production of the good or service
• (b) Variable cost - variable cost is the expenditure on variable
factors/inputs, such as labour, which can be changed.
• (c) Explicit cost - Explicit cost is defined as the money expenditure
incurred by the producer on both fixed and variable factors of
production and raw materials etc
• (d) Implicit cost - implicit cost is the cost of self supplied factors.
TOTAL, AVERAGE & MARGINAL COST
• Total Cost (TC) = Total Fixed Cost + Total Variable Cost
• Cost Function C(x) = F +V𝒙
• Average Cost (AC) = Total Cost/Total Output
• Marginal cost (MC) = △TC/ △Q
REVENUE
• Revenue is defined as the amount a person receives by selling a
certain quantity of the commodity
• Revenue = Price of the Commodity × Quantity of the Commodity
• Total Revenue = Price × Quantity or TR = P × Q
• Revenue Function
𝑹(𝒙) = 𝒑𝒙
AVERAGE AND MARGINAL REVENUE
• Average Revenue = Total Revenue/Quantity sold
• AR = P × Q/Q = P
• Average Revenue and Price of the commodity are one and the same.
• MR = △TR/ △Q
• Profit = Total Revenue – Total Cost
• Profit is maximized when MR=MC
• Assume that fixed costs is Rs. 850, variable cost per item is Rs. 45, and
selling price per unit is Rs. 65. Write, i. Cost function
• ii. Revenue function
• iii. Profit function
• I Cost Function = Variable cost + Fixed cost = 45𝒙 + 850
