Builtrite has higher than average operating expenses
Explanation:
Subtracting cost of goods sold from net sales will give you gross profit. The reason of high gross profit could be company is able to sell its products at a higher price or it is able to keep its cost of goods sold at a lower level than industry standards.
A higher-than-industry-average gross profit margin increases your chances of generating a net profit provided that you are able to keep your expenses within industry average levels.
Operating profit is the pre-tax profit or in other words it is calculated by subtracting operating expenses from the gross profit. Operating profit margin is equal to operating income divided by the total revenue. A lower operating margin despite of having higher gross profit is because the company is not able to control its operating expenses or in other words they are incurring higher operating expenses as compare to industry.

Explanation:
It is important to note that the question requires The incremental manufacturing cost that the company will incur if it increases production from 10,500 to 10,501 units
From Production of 10500 units to 10501 units, there is an increment of 1 unit.
<u>Lets find the incremental cost of 1 unit.</u>
