The average cost per unit for 5,000 units is $9.90. The average cost per unit for 5,001 units is $9.91. Thus, the incremental manufacturing cost for producing one additional unit is $9.91 - $9.90 = $0.01. Therefore, the incremental manufacturing cost for producing 1,000 additional units is $0.01 x 1,000 = $10.00. However, the company only needs to produce one additional unit, so the incremental manufacturing cost is $10.00 ÷ 1,000 = $0.01 = $0.010 rounded to $0.01. Therefore, the answer is B) $10.80. 11ea7998_5ff1_98c4_911b_2b13c9a72e31_TB2627_00_TB2627_00
