When making a decision to accept additional production work a manager needs to look closely at which of the following:
The additional revenue should be at least 25% above the current revenue without the additional production work
The incremental or differential costs of the additional work should not exceed incremental or differential revenue
The additional production should exceed the current capacity by no more than 15%
The combined incremental or differential costs of production should exceed the incremental or differential revenue of the total production run by 15%
