MOC of a good along the PPC is defined as the amount sacrficed of the good, per unit increase in the production of the good in question. It is also called rate of sacrifice.
MOC/MRT `= ("Loss (of output of good 2)")/("Gain (of output of good 1)")`

The Table shows MOC of X. In order to produce an additional unit of X, the producer has to sacrifice some units of Y. For example, if he wants to produce 3 units to wheat, he will have to sacrifice 30 units of cloth, or MOC is 30 units.
