Demand Curve and AC Tangency
上下移动需求曲线 D,切线时观察切点与 MR = MC 交点落在同一条垂线上
需求截距 a16.0
最优产量 Q*2.00
企业状态零利润
切点 ≡ MR = MC:为何落在同一条垂线
当 D 恰好与 AC 相切时,切点横坐标与 MR = MC 的交点横坐标完全一致
需求曲线 D
边际收益 MR
平均成本 AC
边际成本 MC
Q* 垂线(切时变金色)
零利润(长期均衡)
D: P = 16.0 − 2Q MR: P = 16.0 − 4Q
切点与 MR = MC 交点在同一垂线
Another way of understanding the above feature is to recognize the potential link between MR and P, and AC and MC.
Given this, if any two of the facts below are true, then the remaining one will be true as well (at the same Q > 0):
- MR = MC (Profit maximization)
- AC = P (Zero profit)
- ∂AC/∂Q = ∂P/∂Q (Average cost curve tangent with the demand curve)
