Incremental analysis:
Incremental analysis involves the accumulation of information that pertains to a single course of action or product line. Incremental analysis identifies the possible effects that can occur due to the decisions taken on the future earnings.
For instance, if somebody decides to purchase or lease a laptop for use in doing accounting homework, the cost of leasing and the cost of purchasing are considered. Leasing involves periodic lease payments while purchasing requires the down payment of the purchase price.
To prepare: An analysis showing the total cost saving, if any, Industries M will realize by buying the part.
