Revenue concept and types of Revenue

1. 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)

2. 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.
