The term marginal cost refers to the oppurtunity cost associated with producing one more additional unit of a good. Opportunity cost is a critical concept to economics - it refers to the value of the highest value alternative opportunity. For example, in examining the marginal cost of producing one more bushel of wheat, that number could be expressed as the dollar value of corn or other goods that could be produced in lieu of more wheat. Marginal benefit refers to what people are willing to give up in order to obtain one more unit of a good, while marginal cost refers to the value of what is given up in order to produce that additional unit. Additional units of a good should be produced as long as marginal benefit exceeds marginal cost. It would be inefficient to produce goods when the marginal benefit is less than the marginal cost. Therefore an efficient level of product is achieved when marginal benefit is equal to marginal cost.
Total product is a term used to measure exactly how much product is made or sold. Average product is used to compare the making or selling of a product over time.
Product functionality is what it does. Product design is what it looks like/how it's built.
An automobile is a product, a Chevrolet is a Brand of automobile. In other words a product is an item's name, while a brand is the name of the company that manufactures the product. Any individual product may have multiple manufacturers or brands.
There are a few different contrasts between product and production concept. Production concept is the general idea of how something will be done and product is what is actually produced.
Average Product = (Total Product) / (Labor) Marginal Product(2) = (Total Product)(2) - (Total Product)(1)
what is the relationship between marginal physical product and marginal cos
Marginal product is any input in the production process is the increase in the quantity of output obtained from on additional unit of the input. Average product is the output produced when one more unit of the variable factor is employed The relationship is state as: If labour's marginal product is exceed its average product that means labour's average product will be rising. Labour's average product will be falling. If labour's marginal product is less than its average product. If labour's marginal product is equal its average product and the average product will reach the minimum value at the point.
Total product is the sum of all marginal products.
A marginal product curve is a visual presentation that demonstrates the relationship between the marginal product and the quantity of its input. All other inputs are fixed.
Marginal product is equal to average product when average product is maximumMarginal product determines the behaviour of the Average product. AP rises, reaches maximum and thereafter falls.For all sections that the MP is greater than the AP, the AP rises and MP is below AP, the AP decreases.Marginal product reaches maximum at a lower level of employment than does the AP

This is the economic distinction equivalent to fully absorbed cost of product and variable cost of product. Average cost is total cost divided by number of units. Marginal cost is the cost to produce the next unit (or the last unit
The marginal product curve is 'n' shaped because of the law of diminishing returns. As you add more units of a variable factor, at first, the marginal product rises, (this is because the fixed factor is under-utilised, so adding more units of the variable factor will increase the output from each additional unit). But after a certain point, the marginal product begins to fall, as the fixed factor input becomes diluted amongst workers and so you get less from each additional unit of the variable factor. For an example, re-read the above paragraph and replace the word variable factor with labour and fixed factor with capital. The marginal cost curve is the inverse of the marginal product curve - hence it is shaped like a 'u' or a 'Nike tick'. This is because if your marginal product is high - then your marginal costs are low. For example, if a firm must pay electricity for the time it takes to produce a unit, if the firm can produce the unit quicker (i.e. has a high marginal product) then the cost of electricity will be lower. Hence the inverse relationship between marginal cost and marginal product.
I'm thinking that marginal revenue product is the marginal revenue on one product, and marginal revenue is the marginal revenue on the whole firm sales... I'm wondering the same thing but the above response is incorrect. both terms imply values on one item as indicated by the "marginal"
