Marginal contribution measures the spread between the amount of revenue to be received from one additional unit of the scarce resource and the amount of incremental cost necessary to produce that revenue. The cost of the scarce resource itself does not enter into this calculation because the way the firm uses the resource does not change the cost. 1, record 1, English, - marginal%20contribution
