| | Marginal cost - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Economies of scale are said to exist when marginal cost according to the textbook concept falls as a function of output and is less than the average cost per unit. | | | Variable cost also known as, operating costs, prime costs, on costs and direct costs, are costs which vary directly with the rate of output, for example, labour, fuel, power and cost of raw material. | | | Average total cost is the total cost divided by the quantity of output. |

| | Profit maximization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The total revenue -- total cost method relies on the fact that profit equals revenue minus cost, and the marginal revenue -- marginal cost method is based on the fact that total profit in a perfectly competitive market reaches its maximum point where marginal revenue equals marginal cost. | | | Marginal cost and revenue, depending on whether the calculus approach is taken or not, are defined as either the change in cost or revenue as each additional unit is produced, or the derivative of cost or revenue with respect to quantity output. | | | Average cost and revenue are defined as the total cost or revenue divided by the amount of units output. |

| | Because the marginal social cost curve (MSC) is above the marginal private cost curve (MPC), this diagram illustrates the case of a negative externality. | | | Social cost, in economics, is the total of all the costs associated with an economic activity. | | | The ideas of social cost and externality are often used in welfare economics as an example of market failure and an argument for government action and against libertarianism. |

| | Marginal product - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In the "law" of diminishing marginal returns, the marginal product of one input is assumed to fall as long as some other input to production does not change. | | | In economics, the marginal product or marginal physical product of an input to production during a specific time period is as follows, assuming that no other inputs to production change: | | | Similarly, under the same conditions, the marginal product of capital equals its rate of return. |

| | Marginalism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Marginal utility, or marginal benefit, is the additional utility (satisfaction or benefit) that a consumer derives from an additional unit of a commodity or service. | | | Whatever the neurological basis, the result of diminishing marginal utility is that rather than having a lot of one good or a lot of another one, one prefers having some of both. | | | The theory of marginal utility was independently developed around 1870 by William Stanley Jevons in England, Carl Menger in Austria and Leon Walras in Switzerland. |

| | Marginal tax rate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | If the marginal deduction rate exceeds 100%, then an increase in gross income leads to a decrease in disposable income, discouraging attempts to increase income; when this occurs for low income individuals, it is known as the "poverty trap". | | | Where social security and other benefits are related to income, the combined tax and benefit effect can also be taken into account giving a result sometimes described as the marginal effective tax rate or the marginal deduction rate. | | | A flat rate poll tax has marginal rate of zero, while a discontinuity in tax paid can lead to positively or negatively infinite marginal rates at particular points. |

| | If the average product of labor equals 4 when the number of units of labor employed per day is between 1 and 6, the marginal product of labor also equals 4 when the amount of labor used is within this range. | | | If the price of a unit of capital is double the price of a unit of labor, a cost-minimizing firm will choose a combination of inputs where the marginal product of capital minus the marginal product of labor equals the marginal product of labor. | | | If the average product of labor equals 5L, where L is the number of units of labor employed per day, the law of diminishing marginal returns is violated. |

| | The marginal cost function is developed simply by multiplying the unit cost values of each pollutant (dollars/gram) by the increase in the amount of pollutant emitted due to a unit increase in the traffic volume. | | | As stated in section 2, highway marginal cost pricing requires that every user be held responsible for the cost he or she imposes on the rest of the traffic with his or her additional trips. | | | Marginal vehicle operating cost is estimated in terms of distance traveled, and this assumption cancels out insurance cost in the marginal cost formula since these are usually defined in terms of vehicle age. |

| | First Monday: Differential Pricing and Efficiency |
| | Setting prices equal to marginal cost will generally not recoup sufficient revenue to cover the fixed costs and the standard economic recommendation of "price at marginal cost" is not economically viable. | | | Pricing at marginal cost may or may not be efficient: it depends on how the consumers' total willingness-to-pay relates to the total cost of providing the good. | | | The requirement that the marginal user pay marginal cost is a strong one, especially in cases where the marginal cost of usage is close to zero. |

| | Marginal profit is the difference between marginal revenue and marginal cost, and always exceeds zero at the profit-maximizing activity level. | | | Since average revenue is falling along a downward sloping demand curve, marginal revenue must be less than average revenue for the demand curve to slope downward. | | | Subsequent to this point, the marginal revenue associated with additional sales is less than their associated marginal cost, marginal profit is negative, and total profit falls with an expansion in output. |
