• MARGINAL RATE
  
  The incremental rate or return realized by making just one change, adding a single additional unit, or deleting a single unit. For example, if one more new loan is added to an existing portfolio, and the yield on that loan is 10%, the marginal yield for the portfolio is 10%. Not the same as the average.
