Abstract
Marginal costing begins to look at costs in a way unfamiliar to many students. When applying marginal costing principles, the overriding objective is to exclude from costing any fixed or unavoidable costs. We must only consider the short-term changes in total costs which will occur when the level of business activity changes — i.e. the marginal costs.
