Marginal analysis is an economic analysis method. Marginal analysis is to compare the extra expenditure with the extra income. When the two are equal, it is the critical point, that is, the point where the income of invested funds equals the loss of output.

Mathematical principle
For discrete cases, the marginal value is the ratio of the change of dependent variable to the change of independent variable.
For the continuous case: the marginal value is the derivative value of the dependent variable about the independent variable.
So the meaning of the margin itself is the rate of change of the dependent variable about the independent variable, or the amount of change of the dependent variable when the independent variable changes by one unit. In the study of economic management, the marginal quantities often considered are marginal income MR, marginal cost MC, marginal product MP, marginal profit MB and so on.
