Marginal cost is total cost/quantity Marginal benefit is total benefit/quantity
A type of cost-benefit decision making that compares the extra benefits to the extra costs of an action
Marginal benefit 'occurs' for any benefit (price) function, since a marginal term is simply the first-order derivative of its parent function. Marginal benefit is strictly greater than zero only when a benefit function is always increasing in total benefit over its domain.

Marginal net benefits= Marginal benefit- Marginal cost

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.
Marginal net benefits= Marginal benefit- Marginal cost
when marginal benefit is equal to marginal cost To be more specific: When the marginal damage cost of polluting is equal to the marginal abatement cost of polluting (or the marginal benefit of polluting, which is equivalent to the MAC)
Marginal Benefit curve is usually downward sloping, while Marginal Cost is usually upward sloping.
