Marginal analysis evaluates decisions by comparing the incremental costs and benefits of small, additional changes to an existing choice. Most of the options involve incremental, marginal decisions: adding one more sit-up, one more sales call, adjusting speed slightly, or one more TV episode. Choosing a college is a discrete, all-or-nothing decision with no incremental "marginal" addition to an existing choice; it is a major, one-time selection rather than a small, incremental adjustment.
