Answer:

Marginal cost = $200

Step-by-step explanation:

Marginal cost is defined as the change in total cost when output changes by one unit. In the short run.

It is the amount by which total costs will increase as a result of producing additional one more unit of a product.

Marginal cost =$9200 - $9,000 = $200
