Under marginal costing, only variable costs are considered to be relevant costs when making decisions about whether to produce or purchase a product.<\/p>\n<p>The marginal cost of producing a product is the additional cost incurred to produce one more unit of the product. The purchase price of a product is the price that must be paid to acquire one unit of the product from an external supplier.<\/p>\n<p>If the marginal cost of producing a product is less than the purchase price of the product, then it is more profitable to purchase the product rather than produce it.
