    Answer: $40,000 incremental profit

    Explanation:

    Total Revenue if they sell the chickens as is to a slaughter house is,

    = 60,000 * 1

    = $60,000

    If they decide to slaughter the chickens themselves then we have the following revenue

    = 2.75 (selling price) * 60,000 chickens - 65,000 (cost to turn into meat)

    = $100,000

    That's the profit if they process further. To get the Incremental Profit we subtract the profit if they just sell to the Slaughter house.

    = 100,000 - 60,000

    = $40,000

    The Incremental profit if Paola Slaughters chickens is, $40,000
