| | Marginal cost - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | 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. | | | Average fixed cost is the fixed cost divided by the quantity of output. |

| | Social cost - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Social cost, in economics, is the total of all the costs associated with an economic activity. | | | It includes the costs reflected in the organization's production function (called private costs) and the costs external to the firm's private costs (called externalities or external costs). | | | Because the marginal social cost curve (MSC) is above the marginal private cost curve (MPC), this diagram illustrates the case of a negative externality. |

| | Marginal cost is the change in total cost (variable costs) from producing one more unit or the cost of producing one more cookie. | | | The costs of the store and inventory are $60,000, which you are paying out of your own savings. | | | This is because economic profits subtract the opportunity costs of the resources used, or the implicit costs. |

| | 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. | | | 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 discussed, full marginal costs is defined as the total costs accrued to society from an additional unit of travel, that is, an additional user. |

| | 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. | | | 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. |

| | Costs and benefits have a mirror image relationship: a cost can be defined as a reduction in benefits and a benefit can be defined as a reduction in costs. | | | Calculating costs is therefore the basis for calculating benefits. | | | Motorists tend to perceive immediate costs such as travel time, stress, parking fees, fuel, and transit fares, while costs that are paid infrequently, such as insurance, depreciation, maintenance, repairs and residential parking, are often underestimated. |

| | The marginal benefit of emission reduction would remain $2.86 per barrel of oil equivalent, but the marginal cost of compliance would rise to $20 to $25, depending on whether the United States is able to use offsets or credits. | | | Following several previous studies, estimates of marginal cost are obtained through the use of a welfare-theoretic framework (a method for measuring the cost of deviating from market efficiency) built on top of a simulation model of world energy markets. | | | The first marginal cost curve, shown in Figure II, represents the marginal costs to the world of the U.S. fossil fuel conservation necessary to reduce CO emissions. |

| | The standard marginal adjustment cost solution we are outlining in terms of sequences of periods here was initiated by Hayek (1941) and Lerner (1944, 1953) and formally incorporated in two forms in modern economics. | | | This gradualness is governed by increasing marginal costs which are, in turn, the reason for a falling marginal efficiency of investment (MEI) function. | | | Consequently, the margin, q can be seen as the ratio of the marginal efficiency of investment to the rate of interest, i.e. |

Marginal cost is the cost of producing one more unit. | | | First, marginal costs have to be increasing (to avoid the embarrassment of supply and demand curves that never cross). |

| | John Kay (1993) took the idea of the value chain to a financial level claiming; “Adding value is the central purpose of business activity”, where adding value is defined as the difference between the market value of outputs and the cost of inputs including capital, all divided by the firm's net output. | | | Each operating division (also called strategic business units) was treated as a semi-independent profit center with its own revenues, costs, objectives, and strategies. | | | Borrowing from Gary Hamel and Michael Porter, Kay claims that the role of strategic management is to identify your core competencies, and then assemble a collection of assets that will increase value added and provide a competitive advantage. |
