What is Marginal Cost ?
In economics, the Marginal Cost is the change in the total cost that arises when the quantity produced is increased, i.e. the cost of producing additional quantity. In some contexts, it refers to an increment of one unit of output. The marginal cost is measured in dollars per unit, whereas total cost is in dollars, and the marginal cost is the slope of the total cost, the rate at which it increases with output. Marginal cost is different from average cost, which is the total cost divided by the number of units produced.. It is calculated by taking the total change in the cost of producing more goods and dividing that by the change in the number of goods produced.
