----> Marginal analysis involves examination of the associated costs and potential benefits of specific business activities. It tells us whether the costs associated with the change in activity will result in a benefit that is sufficient enough to offset them.
--->In the above example, if Lydia opens her saloon 2 hours more , she will get revenue of about 75-20= $55. If she extends for 3hours,she will get revenue of about 95-30= 65. If she extends for 4hours,she will get revenue of about 110-40= 70. If she extends for 5hours,she will get revenue of about 120-50= 70. If she extends for 6hours,she will get revenue of about 125-60= 65. So here the more optimal operation is to extend saloon for 3hours and get a revenue of about $65 instead of working 4hrs and getting a revenue of about$70 is sub optimal.
