Who is the Firm Objectives poster for?
Firm Objectives belongs to the Economics section rather than to a school year, because business is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning microeconomics can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
When should you use the Firm Objectives poster?
Profit maximisation is the model. Real firms pursue several objectives at once. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Firm Objectives belongs on the wall where that business work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What size does the Firm Objectives poster print at?
Firm Objectives is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download.

Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Firm Objectives loses nothing.Printing guide
