What is Marginal Cost
In the field of economics, the marginal cost refers to the change in the overall cost that occurs when the quantity produced is increased. In other words, the marginal cost is the cost of creating additional inventory. Sometimes it is used to refer to an increase of one unit of output, while other times it is used to refer to the rate of change in total cost as output is increased by an infinitesimal amount. Both of these meanings are applicable in certain situations. The marginal cost is the slope of the total cost, which is the rate at which it increases with output. Figure 1 illustrates that the marginal cost is measured in dollars per unit, but the total cost is measured in dollars. There is a distinction between the marginal cost and the average cost, which is calculated by dividing the total cost by the number of units produced.
