Loss minimisation

Loss minimisation can be considered an objective of a firm especially in a situation where a market or industry is been affected by a slump in demand, sales and revenues. Loss minimisation occurs at the same output as profit maximisation i.e. where MR=MC. This is the smallest loss that can be made given existing cost and revenue (demand) conditions.
