Step-by-step explanation:

Marginal revenue (MR) is defined as the additional revenue that will be generated by increasing sales by one unit of sold product.

Marginal revenue can be calculated using the formula below:

MR = change in revenue/change in quantity of sold product

e. g. If our revenue changes from $168 after selling 3 products to $224 after selling 4 products the marginal revenue would $224 - $168/4 units - 3 units = $56 per additional unit sold
