The concept of marginal utility grew out of attempts by economists to explain the determination of price. The term “marginal utility”‚ credited to the Austrian

Marginal Costing Introduction The Cost of a product of comprises of materials‚ labour‚ and over heads. On the basis of variability they can be broadly classified as fixed and variable costs.

Progressively smaller per unit when the volume of production increases is known as fixed cost. it is also called period cost eg. Rent
