Definition – What is Total Revenue?
In microeconomics, total revenue is all the revenue that the company receives for the goods and services it sells.
It is the price that the firm sells items for times the number of items it sells.
Formula – How to Calculate Total Revenue
Total Revenue = Price x Quantity
Where:
- “Price” is the price each unit sells for.
- “Quantity” is the number of units sold.
Example
Units are selling at $20 per unit and 400 sell.
Total Revenue = $20 x 400 = $8,000
Total revenue is $8,000.
