Incremental costs are costs that are directly incurred as a result of taking a decision. In a manufacturing organization, the incremental cost can be the cost of producing an additional unit that will include the cost of material, labor, and overheads. While making investment decisions not only the cost of investment is an incremental cost but the opportunity cost is an incremental cost.
When a business purchases land for setting up a plant, the cost of site restoration after the production has completed is also an incremental cost. The incremental cost is therefore capitalized. It is important to think of incremental revenues should exceed incremental costs before making a decision.
