Chapter 3 - Marginal analysis for optimal decision making. In this chapter, you will learn to: Employ marginal analysis to find the optimal levels of activities in unconstrained maximization problems; explain why sunk costs, fixed costs, and average costs are irrelevant for determining the optimal levels of activities; employ marginal analysis to find the optimal levels of two or more activities in constrained maximization and minimization problems. | Chapter 3: Marginal Analysis for Optimal Decision McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2011 by the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

Optimization An optimization problem involves the specification of three things: Objective function to be maximized or minimized Activities or choice variables that determine the value of the objective function Any constraints that may restrict the values of the choice variables Optimization Maximization problem An optimization problem that involves maximizing the objective function Minimization problem An optimization problem that involves minimizing the objective function Optimization Unconstrained optimization An optimization problem in which the decision maker can choose the level of activity from an unrestricted set of values Ex., profit maximization in the long-run Constrained optimization An optimization problem in which the decision maker chooses values for the choice variables from a restricted set of values Ex., optimal .
