The Marginal Cost of production is the cost to provide one additional unit of a product or service. It is a fundamental principle to derive economically optimal decisions and an important aspect of managerial accounting and financial analysis. It can be calculated as:
Marginal Cost = Change in Cost / Change in Quantity
If a company’s total cost of production is defined as:
TC = FC + (VC x Q)
Then its marginal cost is the first-order derivative of the total cost function. In this case, the marginal cost is directly equal to its variable costs.
MC = dTC / dQ = VC
where:
TC: Total Cost
FC: Fixed Cost
Q: Quantity
VC: Variable Cost
MC: Marginal Cost
