Supply and Demand Fundamentals — Producer Theory
How do companies decide what to produce, how much to produce, and at what price to sell? Producer theory answers these questions through cost curves, marginal cost versus average cost, economies of scale, and the profit-maximization rule. This knowledge is essential for valuing companies — a firm with declining marginal costs as it scales (software, platforms) looks very different from a traditional manufacturer with rising costs.
