Minimization of Total Industry Costs of Production

This section connects several ideas covered in previous videos about the price system and profit maximization. In this video, we begin to understand two basic functions of the Invisible Hand. In competitive markets, the market price (with the help of the Invisible Hand) balances production across firms so that total industry costs are minimized. Competitive markets also connect different industries. By balancing production, the Invisible Hand of the market ensures that the total value of production is maximized across different industries. We’ll use the example of minimizing total costs of corn production, and demonstrate our findings through several charts.

For anyone wondering: MC(first farm) = mx, MC(second farm) =nx T= Total amount that we need X: the amount made in farm no.1 Y: the amount made in farm no.2 X= (n/m)(T-1) Y = ((m-n)T+ n)/m = T-X
