Graphical Presentation of MR curve Take pt. C as mid pt. of PA. Draw a line DCBG, then, PDC = CAB Thus PAQO = ODBQ Therefore, TR at price P is sum of MRS of all individual units. Hence MR curve is the line DCBG & it cuts any such perpendicular at its midpoint.
Mathematical derivation of MR
MR = d (TR) = d ( P.Q ) dQ dQ = P + Q dp --(i) dQ If demand curve is linear, then: Q = a bP Or P = a Q = a0 a1.Q --(ii) b b TR = P.Q = a0.Q a1.Q2 (substituting eqn. (ii) Then, MR = d(TR) = a0 2a1.Q dQ
Applied problem
Assume that the Indian jute industry is at present in a equilibrium state with the producers supplying jute bags only to the domestic market at a prevailing markets prices. Apart from domestic suppliers. Indian jute industry faces competition from Bangladesh. Poor Domestic Demand Increased competition from Bangladesh. Cement industry, which is one of the largest users of jute bags, exempted from mandatory jute packaging. Farmers, instead of producing jute, use their farm lands for some other purposes.
