Step 1

The total cost is the addition of all the costs incurred by the firm for the production of a given level of output. It includes the fixed cost, which is constant, and the variable cost, which varies with the level of output. The marginal cost is the change in cost incurred when the firm produces additional output. It is also known as the incremental cost.
