The marginal cost of a good is the cost associated with producing one additional unit of that good. It represents the incremental cost of producing an additional unit of a product or service, and is calculated by taking the total cost of production and dividing it by the number of units produced. For example, if it costs a company $100 to produce 10 units of a product, the marginal cost of each additional unit would be $10.
