Marginal cost represents the incremental costs incurred when producing additional units of a good or service. It is calculated by taking the total change in costs of producing more goods and dividing that by the change in the quantity of goods produced. The usual variable costs included in the calculation are labor and materials, plus the estimated increases in fixed costs (if any), such as administration, overhead, and selling expenses. The marginal cost formula can be used in financial modeling to optimize the generation of cash flow.
