How are the total revenue of a firm, market price, and the quantity sold by that firm related to each other?

Total revenue is defined as the total sales proceeds of a producer by selling corresponding level of output. In other words, it is defined as price times the quantity of output sold.

Total Revenue = Price × Quantity of output sold

TR = P × Q

TR = PQ

In a perfectly competitive market, the market price is given, i.e., a firm acts as a price taker and cannot influence the price. Hence, a particular firm can influence its TR by altering the quantity of output sold.
