Marginal cost is total cost/quantity Marginal benefit is total benefit/quantity
Opportunity cost is the cost that an opportunity presents. The opportunity benefit is the benefit of the opportunity that is being presented.

Cost-benefit analysis is rational.
Summary Social cost/benefit: sum of all private costs/benefit. Social welfare analysis: involves optimising social outcomes based on cost/benefit. Optimal occurs: where marginal social cost (MSC) = marginal social benefit (MSB) Is used for: cost of economic choices, policies, initiatives, etc. Longer Explanation Social cost-benefit analysis is also known as 'welfare analysis' and is very similar to normal firm optimisation models. Essentially, social cost and benefit usually involve a private producer or consumer and a public provider or public demand. In these cases, the private cost/benefit of the private actor differs from the social cost/benefit. A social cost/benefit is simply the sum of all costs and benefits of all private actors. Cost is represented on a cost-quantity axis as a positively-sloped function (linear or higher power) and benefit is a negatively-sloped function. Their optimisation occurs where the derivatives of cost and benefit (marginal social cost; marginal social benefit) are equal. This point is where profit/social welfare is greatest.
