    Given:

    Fixed cost = 100

    Variable cost = 10 sweaters; 15

    Variable cost = 11 sweaters; 17

    Total cost of 10 sweaters = $100 + 15 = $115

    Total cost of 11 sweaters = $100 + 17 = $117

    Change in number of sweaters = 11 - 10 = 1

    Change in total cost = $117 - 115 = $2

    The marginal cost of the 11th sweater is $2.
