[edit] About MU OER Project

OER (Open Education Resource) project of Mumbai University has been visualized by Dr. Rajan Welukar,Hon' Vice Chancellor University of Mumbai and is supported by Common Wealth of Learning Vancouver,Canada. This project is first of its kind in India in many ways. Through implementation of this project Mumbai University will become first university in India to create OER. Again through implementation of this project University of Mumbai will become first public institution in India to do so. Worldwide, universities like MIT Sloan - USA, Athabasca University -Canada, Empire State College New York etc have undertaken steps to develop OER. Under OER project, University of Mumbai is planning to put on open learning platform, the subject content of Economics and Soft Skills to begin with. To initiate our work on the project we have been supported and trained by Dr. Savithri Singh - Principal Acharya Narendra Dev College, Dr. Ravi Toteja and Dr. Neeti Misra (Faculty Acharya Narendra Dev College). The details of the workshop are available Here

[edit] About Moodle

An attempt is being made to use Moodle as a platform for creating OER along with the support that is available through Wikieducator. Moodle is an Open Source Course Management System (CMS), also known as a Learning Management System (LMS) or a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). It has become very popular among educators around the world as a tool for creating online dynamic web sites for their students. The focus of the Moodle is to provide educators with the best tools to manage and promote learning.

{{SLMintro||

Economists consider that objectives of business firms are various and vary accordance with the nature of market’ In economic literature prominent objectives of firm are following
 * 1Maximisation of profit.

Conventional theory of firm assumes profit maximization is sole objective of business firm, how ever recent  researcher on this issue reveal that modern corporations pursue multiple objectives. The main factor behind the multiplicity of the objectives is the separation of management from the ownership.
 * 2 Maximization of sales revenue.
 * 3 Maximization of growth rate
 * 4 Maximization of managerial utility function.
 * 5 Long run Survival and larger market share.

{{SLMsection|Section= Basic definitions}} Any costs incurred by a firm may be classed into two groups: Any costs incurred by a firm may be classed into two groups: fixed cost and variable cost *Fixed costs are incurred by the business at any level of output, including zero output. These may include equipment maintenance, rent, wages, and general upkeep. Fixed cost and variable cost, combined, equal total cost fixed cost and variable cost Fixed costs are incurred by the business at any level of output, including zero output. These may include equipment maintenance, rent, wages, and general upkeep. Variable costs change with the level of output, increasing as more product is generated. Materials consumed during production often have the largest impact on this category. Fixed cost and variable cost, combined, equal total cost Revenue is the amount of money that a company receives from its normal business activities, usually from the sale of goods and services (as opposed to monies from security sales such as equity shares or debt issuances). Profit is surplus of total revenue over total cost .ie TR-TC Economic profit =Total   revenue-  Explicit cost –Implicit cost The Normal Profit is the minimum income which entrepreneur must get in order to stay in industry or business. ’Normal profit is included in the total cost

{{SLMsection}} To obtain the profit maximizing output quantity, we start by recognizing that profit is equal to total revenue (TR) minus total cost (TC). Given a table of costs and revenues at each quantity, we can either compute equations or plot the data directly on a graph. Finding the profit-maximizing output is as simple as finding the output at which profit reaches its maximum. That is represented by output Q in the diagram. There are two graphical ways of determining that Q is optimal. First, the profit curve is at its maximum at this point (A). Secondly, at the point (B) the tangent on the total cost curve (TC) is parallel to the total revenue curve (TR), meaning that the surplus of revenue net of costs (B,C) is at its greatest. Because total revenue minus total costs is equal to profit, the line segment C,B is equal in length to the line segment A,Q. Computing the price at which to sell the product requires knowledge of the firm's demand curve. The price at which quantity demanded equals profit-maximizing output is the optimum price to sell the product

{{SLMsubsection}} ]Marginal revenue-marginal cost method

Profit maximization using the marginal approach An alternative argument says that for each unit sold, marginal profit (Mπ) equals marginal revenue (MR) minus marginal cost (MC). Then, if marginal revenue is greater than marginal cost, marginal profit is positive, and if marginal revenue is less than marginal cost, marginal profit is negative. When marginal revenue equals marginal cost, marginal profit is zero.[1] Since total profit increases when marginal profit is positive and total profit decreases when marginal profit is negative, it must reach a maximum where marginal profit is zero - or where marginal cost equals marginal revenue. If there are two points where this occurs, maximum profit is achieved where the producer has collected positive profit up until the intersection of MR and MC (where zero profit is collected), but would not continue to after, as opposed to vice versa, which represents a profit minimum.[1] In calculus terms, the correct intersection of MC and MR will occur when:[1] The intersection of MR and MC is shown in the next diagram as point A. If the industry is perfectly competitive (as is assumed in the diagram), the firm faces a demand curve (D) that is identical to its Marginal revenue curve (MR), and this is a horizontal line at a price determined by industry supply and demand. Average total cost are represented by curve ATC. Total economic profit are represented by area P,A,B,C. The optimum quantity (Q) is the same as the optimum quantity (Q) in the first diagram.

These numbers are illustrative. Note that profit is maximized at output level 5 & 6.Price is equated to MC only at output level 6 ,however the second order condition is also satisfied since MC is increasing at q=6

Example:2

The market price a perfectly competitive firm in short run is Rs.25.Complete the following table.
