(a) Discuss the relationship between the profit-maximising output and the revenue-maximising output with reference to Baumol’s Model of managerial decision making (1959).
Under what circumstances may a firm wish to pursue the objective of maximising
revenue rather than maximising profit? Is this a realistic model of managerial
decision making?
(b) A sales
revenue maximising firm will decrease price and increase production in response
to an increase in fixed costs or lump sum taxes. While a profit maximising firm
will increase price and reduce output by more than a sales maximising firm when
there is an increase in variable cost.’ Do you agree with this statement?
Discuss.
