From mathematical aspect, marginal cost is differentiation of variable cost.
Marginal cost= (Change in total variable cost÷change in quantity)x100
However on economics language, if one unit of commodity is produced how much the cost will rise is the amount equal to marginal cost. It is mentionable that, only variable cost changes with the change in quantity production, not the fixed cost. So if there is marginal cost, then it means that it is told about variable cost. For example, labour cost (as we can hire an extra labour to raise production, so cost will obviously rise) is variable cost. And the example of fixed cost is rent on land (because producer can not raise the portion of land to raise the production, so there is no question of rising cost).
