certainty the value of one based on the value of another. (Mark, H) For example: The total cost is $10 per unit on average; and if the number of units increases by 1, then the total cost would also increase by $10. Sometimes the result of actual total cost may either increase or decrease, which could be more than $10 or less than $10.

benefits, it is not financially the best option for the company to take. While the company is paying employees a low wage rate, increasing to $20 per unit is too expensive for the business to support at this time. Increasing employee pay by $1 will raise costs by $13% [(8.7/7.7)-1].
