3-total costs:
• Total costs defined as all payments to the owners
of factors of production.
• Total costs of production are the sum of both
total fixed costs (TFC) and total variable costs
(TVC), as shown:
• Total costs= Total fixed costs + Total variable
costs.
• TC = TFC + TVC.

Marginal cost:
Marginal cost is the cost of producing one extra
unit of output, or the cost of an additional unit of
production, or the cost of the last unit of
production. It can be found by calculating the
change in total cost divided by the change in
output.

Total Revenue: Total Revenue is defined as the quantity of sales multiplied by unit price, as
shown below:
TR = Q * P
Average Revenue (AR) is defined as the total revenue (TR) divided by the quantity of sales, as
shown below:
(AR) = TR/Q
Marginal Revenue (MR) is the change in total revenue ∆TR divided by the change in the
quantity of sales ∆Q
MR = ∆TR/ ∆Q

Accounting and economic profits
2-Economic profit is the profit that takes into account both implicit and
explicit costs. Implicit costs are considered opportunity
costs and are normally the company's own resources. Examples:
company-owned buildings, equipment, and self-employment resources.
