A supply curve shows the relationship between the price of a good and the quantity supplied. A marginal cost curve shows the change in total cost that results from producing one additional unit of output. Therefore, a supply curve can also be a marginal cost curve. A supply curve does not tell the quantity of other goods and services that sellers must give up to produce another unit of the good. This is known as the opportunity cost of production.
