Dear Friend,

 

Incremental analysis is used to find the impact of changes in costs or revenues, given a specific potential scenario. Decisions involving incremental analysis include the Make or buy, Sell or process further, Special order and Changes in production and/or technology among many other relevent application.

 

Now, Coming to your Query,

PW of benefits = (UAB)(P/A,7%,20) = UAB (11.470)

Each line length from an Alternative point to the 45-degree line is the NPW of the Alternative. The project with the greatest NPW is thus the one with the longest line dropped from it to the 45-degree line. Therefore, the Alternative "C" should be selected.

 

I hope the above helps,

 

Regards...
