When price of a product is Rs. 20 per unit a firm is in a position to sell 10 units, however with decrease in price to RS. 19 per unit a firm sells 11 units. Find the marginal revenue from increase in sale from 10 to 11 units___.
Marginal revenue refers to the change in revenue or additional revenue which a firm earns on selling a unit more of its output. It is calculated by dividing the change in total revenue by change in total quantity of commodity sold.
Marginal revenue = Change in total revenue/ Change in quantity of commodity sold.
Change in total revenue = Rs. ( 11 x 19 - 10 x 20)
= Rs. (209 - 200)
= Rs. 9
Change in quantity sold = (11 - 10) units
= 1 unit
Marginal revenue = Rs. 9 / 1 unit = Rs. 9.
