- TOTAL REVENUE (TR): This refers to the total income which a firm derives from the sale of its products.
Total Revenue = Price x Quantity (TR = PxQ)
- AVERAGE REVENUE (A.R): The average revenue is the same as the price per unit of the commodity. It is derived by dividing the total revenue by the total unit of the commodity sold.
