An externality in business or economics is where an industrial activity has an unexpected side effect which does not figure in the cost of the goods and services involved.  For example, I worked many years at a large mine. Just the existence of the mine there meant it was a no-hunting area so a side effect was that the moose used it as a refuge during hunting season which as a side effect was beneficial to the moose (and deer). Another example is that we used to crush mine rock for the haulroads for winter traction. As a result, it was found that the fines from this were concentrated with copper values so were put in the mill for processing-an unexpected outcome.

Alina [70]

Answer:

B) dividing the change in total cost by the change in output

Explanation:

Marginal cost(MC) is the cost incurred as a result of producing additional units of goods and services. It is calculated by dividing a change in total cost by a change in output.

That is,

Marginal cost(MC)= change in total cost(TC)/ change in output

Total cost(TC): This is the addition of fixed and variable cost in production.

Total cost(TC)= fixed cost (FC)+variable cost (VC)

Fixed cost (FC) are cost that doesn't change during the production process such as buildings, machineries and furniture.

Variable cost (VC) are cost that changes or are used up during production process such as raw materials.
