A. In a business world we want to maximize all profits as possible. With profit maximization you have to consider all factors such as production cost, sale prices and output levels to adjust in order to get a maximum on your return. Total cost to revenue is one of the major methods used for profit maximization. When using the total revenue to total cost method you obtain a profit by taking the total revenue and subtracting the total cost. What this means is taking the cost of running the business such as utility bills, rent, payroll, taxes etc. and subtracting that total cost to the total revenue of the business. Total revenue would be the amount of money the business brought in from products sold. If the difference between the two is at a positive then a profit is obtained.
