Marginal Opportunity cost(MOC) / Marginal Rate of Transformation (MRT)
1)
MOC is the rate at which output of Good-Y is to be sacrificed for every additional unit of Good-X. It refers to the slope of PPC.
The MOC measures the amount of a good that has to be sacrificed for each additional unit of the other good.
MOC = Δ Y (loss of output) / Δ X (gain of output)
2)
CASE 1) Thus if we want 1 burger we would have to sacrifice one house. Thus the marginal opportunity cost would be 1 pizza for an additional unit of Burger.
CASE 2) If we want 1 more burger then we would have to sacrifice 2 pizza's or 2 pizza's for an additional unit of burger.
