Marginal Functions
The Marginal Cost Function approximates the change in the actual cost of producing an additional unit.
The Marginal Average Cost Function measures the rate of change of the average cost function with respect to the number of units produced.
The Marginal Profit Function measures the rate of change of the profit function. It approximates the profit from the sale of an additional unit.
The Marginal Revenue Function measures the rate of change of the revenue function. It approximates the revenue from the sale of an additional unit.
