The marginal rate of return is a term that is used to identify the rate of return that is generated if a single unit is added to the current process, in comparison with choosing to maintain the status quo or taking some other type of action that exerts some effect on the returns realized.
Marginal cost is the additional cost you incur to produce one more unit. In the example, it's what it costs to make one more cake. Typically, marginal costs start out high and decline as you increase production, as overhead gets spread out over more units and you put unused capacity to work at relatively low cost.ntersection. As long as your marginal benefit -- that is, your marginal revenue -- from producing one more item exceeds your marginal cost of producing that item, you'll continue to make a profit.
