Perfect competition starts if the minimum efficient scale of a single product is smaller relative to the market demand for the good or service. This leaves the room in the market for many firms. Each firm produces a good that has no unique characteristics. Price taker firm that cannot influence the market price because its production is an insignificant part of the total market. A firm"s total revenue equals the price of its output multiplied by the number of units of output sold price x quantity. Marginal revenue is the change in total revenue that results from a one unit increase in the quantity sold. It is calculated by dividing the change in total revenue by the change in quantity sold.
