	MARGINAL COST OF DELIVERED WOOD CHIPS
		Marginal costs were lowest in central Tennessee unless the facility demand was greater than 2.7 million dry Mg per year (3 million dry tons per year) in which case west Tennessee was the lowest cost region.
		Marginal costs rose rapidly with increasing facility demand in the mountainous eastern portion of the state.
		Once the marginal costs for a specific demand level were extracted from the curves for the 21 locations they were grouped by their region - east, central, west as were the mean transportation costs and farmgate prices.

		Marginal analysis for finding the profit maximizing quantity for a firm to produce (where marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost).
		Use marginal analysis to find the profit maximizing quantity for the monopoly and be able to do this using a graph of average total cost, marginal cost, demand and marginal revenue.
		The elasticity of demand for labor (same as how fast the MRP of labor drops) depends on the elasticity of demand for the finished product, how severe the diminishing returns are, and whether or not there is a substitute for labor.

		The change in revenue is the sum of the increase from the marginal units and the decrease from the inframarginal units.
		The firm’s marginal revenue could be negative if the increase in revenue the firm gets from selling additional (marginal) units at a lower price is more than offset by the decrease in revenue from selling (inframarginal) units at a lower price than if it had chosen a lower quantity of output.
		The inverse demand curve is P = 50 — (Q/20) so the marginal revenue curve is P = 50 — (Q/10) (using the fact that the slope of the MR curve is twice that of the inverse demand curve, with the same intercept).

	Renshaw: Essay 16
		Comparable aggregate marginal cost or "supply growth" curves are obtained for each year on the assumption that the US economy is reasonably competitive and that the short run elasticity of supply is equal to 2.0.
		Some increases in the demand growth rate are unsustainable and when the supply growth curve is shifting upward at a rapid rate the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve is very likely to eventually tighten credit to the point of slowing down economic activity dramatically and possibly tipping the economy into a recession.
		R is a recessionary signal identifying those cases where the change in the demand growth intercept in column (5) minus the change in the marginal Cost intercept in column (6) is equal to minus one percentage point or is even lower.

	Answers to Key Questions
		Marginal revenue is below D because to sell an extra unit, the monopolist must lower the price on the marginal unit as well as on each of the preceding units sold.
		Demand is elastic from P = $6.50 to P = $3.50, a range where TR is rising.
		Suppose a pure monopolist is faced with the demand schedule shown below and the same cost data as the competitive producer discussed in question 4 at the end of Chapter 23.

	Phases of the Marginalist Revolution
		The idea of a demand function itself was proposed by Charles D'Avenant (1699), who even attempted to estimate one for wheat (on the basis of data allegedly provided by Gregory King (1696)).
		This, of course, was not all: in addition to demand functions, Cournot introduced the concepts of marginal revenue, marginal cost, the concept of the profit-maximizing firm, monopoly, duopoly, perfect competition and, of course, his famous "reaction functions".
		Marginal utility, let us be frank, is hardly a scientific concept: unobservable, unmeasurable and untestable, marginal utility is a notion with very dubious scientific standing.

	Homework #7 Answer Sheet
		Thus, the marginal revenue curve for the firm is MR = 100 - 0.02Q.
		For a linear demand curve, the marginal revenue curve has the same intercept as the demand curve and a slope that is twice as steep:
		Suppose the demand for TAs is W = 30,000 - 125n, where W is the wage (as an annual salary), and n is the number of TAs hired.

	David Friedman, Price Theory: Chapter 4: Marginal Value, Marginal Utility, and Consumer Surplus
		In drawing the figures, I have assumed that the marginal utility of income is 2 utiles/dollar (an additional $1 is worth 2 utiles), so a marginal utility of 20 utiles per orange corresponds to a marginal value of $10/ orange, and a total utility of 60 utiles corresponds to a total value of $30.
		Since marginal value is marginal utility divided by the marginal utility of income, the ratio of the marginal values of two goods is the same as the ratio of their marginal utilities.
		Unless the marginal value of the eleventh apple is the same as that of the tenth (which it should not be, by our assumption of declining marginal utility) and the marginal value of the fourth cookie the same as that of the fifth (ditto), the argument as I gave it is wrong!

	Origin of the Idea
		Alfred Marshall's best-known contribution to economics is the familiar model of supply and demand, sometimes referred to as the "Marshallian Cross." The demand and supply model represents a synthesis of the work that many earlier economists had done.
		Besides creating the now familiar diagram of supply and demand, Alfred Marshall articulated the law of demand, and justified the law of demand with the concept of diminishing marginal utility and development of the income and substitution effects.
		In 1871, English economist William Stanley Jevons applied the idea of diminishing marginal utility to the work decision, arguing that the marginal utility of the money earned for each hour of work decreases as the day progresses, and the disutility (pain) from working increases as each additional hour is worked.

	Monopoly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		the demand for the firm’s output is downward sloping.
		If a monopolist's demand curve is downward sloping and linear, then its marginal revenue curve must be [C] identical to the demand curve.
		The market demand is given by the equation: P(Q) = 90 - 4Q where P is the price of widgets and Q is the quantity of widgets sold per week.

	Uses of Demand Theory
		Another way of looking at the demand curve is as the maximum amount that the consumer is willing to pay (per unit) for the quantity shown.
		Her marginal marginal willingness to pay (marginal benefit) is the difference between her willingness to pay for X and X-1 units of wheat.
		Marginal consumer surplus on each unit is the difference between marginal willingness to pay and the market price, P

	Principles of Economics by Alfred Marshall
		A general increase in his demand is an increase throughout the whole list of prices at which he is willing to purchase different amounts of it, and not merely that he is willing to buy more of it at the current prices.
		There is then one general law of demand: —The greater the amount to be sold, the smaller must be the price at which it is offered in order that it may find purchasers; or, in other words, the amount demanded increases with a fall in price, and diminishes with a rise in price.
		The demand for gas is liable to be reduced by an improvement in electric lighting; and in the same way a fall in the price of a particular kind of tea may cause it to be substituted for an inferior but cheaper variety.

		The hookup method improves economic efficiency because it reflects as marginal only those costs that are avoidable—cost at the time when the choice to spend or not spend money on new hookups is made—when the customer chooses to access the utility system.
		Thus, it is clear that the credits for RCS should reflect the utility’s marginal costs of providing these services and should not be different from the "marginal costs" that are used by the utility for ratemaking purposes.
		The Commission has decided that uncollectible expenses are not marginal costs to the customers who pay their bills in a series of cases going back to the late 1980s.

	The Marginal Price of Oil \| EnergyBulletin.net \| Peak Oil News Clearinghouse
		It is just that the marginal barrel of oil is no longer what they think it is and the benchmarks used to determine whether prices are “too high” are no longer appropriate.
		Barring a worldwide recession and a collapse in demand, the marginal barrel will now forever be heavier and sourer than these grades.
		As we would expect from this combination of factors, refining margins have widened to historically high levels on the output side (i.e., crack spreads) and discounts for heavy, sour crude have widened to historically high levels on the input side (i.e., crude spreads).

		If individuals think that revealing their true demand will result in greater supply without increasing their own level of payment, they are likely to over-report their demand.
		Then the marginal cost of an additional acre of wild land will reflect the profit that could have been made had the acre of land been used for agriculture.
		Thus, the marginal cost of an acre of undeveloped land will increase as more land is left wild and less land is converted to agriculture.
