Concept Introduction:

Marginal Cost (MC): It refers to the rate by which the total cost of produced goods changes when the production increases by a single unit. As fixed cost is constant irrespective of production, so the marginal cost depends on the variable cost only in the short run.

Marginal social cost (MSC): The increased cost for the society by any of the activity of an individual or firm is known as marginal social cost, it is calculated by summing up marginal external cost and marginal private cost.
