Answer:
$3,190
Explanation:
Incremental net income before tax = Incremental gross profit - Incremental SG&A expenses
= $5,000 - $400
= $4,600
Incremental net income after taxes = Incremental net income before tax * (1 - Tax rate)
Incremental net income after taxes = $4,600 * (1 - 0.35)
Incremental net income before tax = $4,600 * 0.65
Incremental net income before tax = $2990
Incremental cash flow = Incremental income after taxes + Depreciation
Incremental cash flow = $2,990 + $200
Incremental cash flow = $3,190

Vroom's expectancy theory of motivation attempts to explain that people choose to perform certain actions over other in a manner that aims to maximize pleasure and reduce pain to lowest possible extent.
There are three factors that affect motivation : expectancy, instrumentality and valence.
Expectancy : refers to the belief of working harder with the expectation of attaining the goals set within an organization.
Instrumentality : refers to the belief that one will be rewarded if certain goals are met. These rewards may take the form of increased wages, recognition, increased incentives etc.
Valence: refers to the value attached by the worker to the reward that has been attained.
