Accounting profit Total revenue-total cost (only explicit)of co. Calculated by diducting explicit cost like raw mat, rent,wages etc Applied to determine taxable income for purpose loan,int calculation,bugting etc Economic Profit Total revenue-Total cost (explicit &implicit) Calculated by diducting explicit cost and implicit cost like company owned property ,equipment, vehicle etc. Applied for sales and acquisition negotiation, production analysis
Accounting profit
A/c profit is always bigger when compared to Eco profit. It is calculated according to accepted Accounting Principles. It provided clear indication of wheather the co. is doing well or not. AP=TR-TC TR=Total Revenue TC=total cost
Economic Profit
Eco profit is always bigger when compared to A/C profit. Difference between the revenue received from sales and opportunity cost of the input used. It links only performance management measurement EP=(r-c)*capital imployed r=rate of return, c=cost of capital

Profit Optimization Process of cutting down unnecessary cost in production it cost increases profit. Strategy of understanding point where maxi profit-by increasing sales turnover or by giving discounts. Could done by By cutting down wages,source of suppliers etc. Profit Maximisation
Fixing the prices and deciding the total output levels in such a way that maximize profit. Follows st.of determining price and output level that would result highest returns. Can be done by widening the margin of profit, using inexpensing source of finance, economies of scale
On-going st. can be applied in short as well as long run Only effective of staying ahead of competition Adv- reduce cost,increase revenue,etc. Dis adv- buss might start cutting cost and use low raw mat-& negetive impact on goodwill
Short run st. After a certain point company stop raising profit if followed this st. Adv- improve cash flow Disadv-can make buss very risky as buss is running just behind profit. Buss can loose trust and goodwill in the course of making huge profits.
Satisfying
Looking for 1st adequate solution to the problem and than they stop. This is contrast of Optimum decision making Eg. If buss wants to buy new machine pick up the first machine on the catalogue that does the job in the required time and in the required cost Can raise issued if not used correctly Eliminate unwanted information and option and help in taking accurate decision in shortest possible time.
According to Adam Smith, in a free market each participant will try to maximize self-interest, and the interaction of market participants, leading to exchange of goods and services, enables each participant to be better off than when simply producing for himself/herself. Eg. If cost of production-8/- and price=30/;profit=22/Attract new producers and supply &price will continue. there fore continue adjustment in mkt d &s &price without any forces
limitations
Two people in a simple situation, acting in an un-informed manner, both attempting to maximize their well-being, and yet making choices that lead to an unnecessarily poor outcome for both. Murderer,robber Negative Externalities
Low wages Poor working conditions Pollution
Market Failure
Monopolies Insufficient allocations of a public good: no profit incentives to provide for it Information costs: Insufficient information for producers AND consumers
Case: A company is producing tables and the out put and cost are 1.100 tables costs Rs10,000/ 200 tables cost Rs 15,000/ MC=(15000-10000) /(200-100) =5000/100 =Rs: 50 The Mc for producing additional 50 unit is Rs 50/Qty 1 2 3 4 5 Price 41 40 39 38 37 Total cost 35 68 94 107 114 Total revenue 41 80 117 152 185 =(68-35)/(2-1)=27 =(94-68)/(3-2)=26 =(107-94)/(4-3)=13 =(114-107)/(5-4)=7 Marginal cost
Differentiation 3.
Break Even Profit Point at which no loss no profit. Point cost of production is = revenue earned Can be shown on graph paper COST VOLUME PROFIT Form of cost A/c helpful in taking decision in short run. Concerened with the effect of sales volumes and production cost on overall profit /buss Can show the relation ship ---
Formula= FC/(SPVariable cost per unit ) If FC=10000,SP=5/-per unit,VC=3/-per unit Therefore BEP=10000/(5-3) BEP=5000 units
Formula PX=VX+FC+Profit P=selling price per unit V= variable cost per unit FC=total fixed cost X=no.of units produced and sold
Assumptions FC are constant Firm produces only one product Tech is constant SP is constant Revenue changes with change in volume
Assumptions Costs can be classified as FC & VC SP ,VC per unit are constant All units produced are sold
GDP
GDP =Gross Domestic Product is a measure of countrys overall economic output. It is the market value of all final goods and services made within the borders of a country in a year. It is commonly used as an indicator of the economic health of a country, as well as to gauge the a countrys standard of living. It is the monitory value of all the finished goods and services produced within a countrys in a year. It is calculated on the annual basis. GDP=C+G+I+X-M(Export -Imports) Where C=All private consumption, or consumers spending, in a nations economy G= Sum of Government spending I= Sum of all the Countrys business spending on capital X-M =Nations total net exports, calculated as total exports minus total imports
