Marginal Analysis: Purchasing The College School Books
Marginal Analysis is a spending decision made based off of the analysis of the cost versus the benefits. I have in many times used this type of analysis. For example, purchasing the college school books. I consider the value of the book first and then begin to mentally weigh in the cost versus the benefits in purchasing the book. I then determine if the potential resale value and information gained from the book out weights the cost. There is also times when the information gained does outweigh the cost therefore through my own marginal analysis the benefit would be greater than the

    Incremental analysis, sometimes called marginal or differential analysis, is used to analyze the financial information needed for decision-making. It identifies the relevant revenues and/or costs of each alternative and the expected impact of the alternative on future income. A decision-making technique used in business to determine the true cost difference between alternatives. Incremental analysis ignores sunk costs and costs that are the same between the two alternatives to look only at the remaining costs. Businesses use incremental analysis as part of their managerial accounting to help them make a wide variety of financial decisions. These include deciding whether to accept an order at a special price, buy individual components or opt for a finished product, to keep or replace equipment and eliminate, or not, an unprofitable sector of a business. In my organization, we used the incremental analysis when building a business case to replace copy machines in the district. Using incremental analysis, we did not look at the cost of the existing copy machine because it is a sunk cost (the cost of buying it cannot be reversed). We analyzed the cost of toner cartridges for each machine, the cost of the electricity run each machine, and most importantly, the time saved by having employees use a more efficient model and perhaps the cost savings of being able to prepare documents in-house instead of outsourcing them. Businesses can also use the incremental analysis when accepting additional business, making or buying parts or products, selling products or processing them further, eliminating a segment, or allocating scarce…

    Ian Frazier In Praise Of Margins Analysis

    In the essay “In praise of margins,” Ian Frazier explains the importance of having marginal activities. He describes these activities as something you do with no purpose, where you are free to let your mind run wild. Sometimes marginality is tangible in the sense you can actually create something while doing a marginal activity. Frazier’s marginal place as a child was eh woods. There he and his friends would pretend to be explores and try out odd ideas. Odd ideas that later they would come to realize were learning experiences. He uses riding a biked down a trail as an example. As an adult he goes back to the woods to fish but with a goal in mind. Frazier argues that “marginal behavior can be the most important kind. “In fact marginal activities are of benefit to us and those around us. With the correct mindset many activities can be considered marginal. Marginal activities are about what you are passionate about and can sometimes lead to educational opportunities and/or technological advancements.…
