Which of the following is true about marginal cost? The marginal cost will consistently fall with an increase in production. Marginal cost can be found at the intersection of a firm's budget constraints and production function. In the long run, every firm's marginal cost must equal zero. Marginal cost is the change in total cost that results from a single unit increase in the quantity produced.
