Abel Gordon · Answer 1

The correct answer is D

Explanation:

Incremental cost is the cost or an expense which is aggregate incurred because of an extra unit of the product is being manufactured. It is computed through analyzing the extra cost involves in the process of production like raw materials.

So, any order or project would be profitable when the revenue or income from that order or project is more than the incremental cost of the manufacturing the order.
