Explanation:

1. Incremental cash flow is the potential increase or decrease in cash flow from an investment this could be positive or negative.

In this case in expanding a product line or launching a new project incremental cash flow could be.

2. a. Payback:

profit gotten from an initial investment equal to what was initially invested
