Answer:
1. $46,550
2. $405,000
3. $450,600
Explanation:
1. Computation of differential cost regarding the decision to buy the model 200
Differential cost = Cost of a new model 300 - Cost of a new model 200
Differential cost = $396,350 - $349,800
Differential cost = $46,550
So, the differential cost regarding decision to buy model 200 is $46,550.
2. Sunk costs are the costs which are already incurred by the entity in the past and which are not relevant to decision made today. In this case, sunk cost is the cost of the machine purchased seven years ago for $405,000.

Explanation:
- The per instrument cost of the bank is $0.25. Assuming uniform cheque value, the 24 million remittances across 10000 cheque will mean per cheque value of 2400. If this amount can be invested at 8% p.a., then daily investment income will be approx = 2400 * 8% /365 = $ 0.526
- Now for the company to jus about cover the cost of the cheque processing, the time should reduce by (assuming fractional time in days is possible) 0.25/0.526 = 0.48 days
- Now if the interest that can be earned reduces to 4%, the average daily interest will also reduce to $0.263. At this level, the time required to cover the cost should reduce by 0.95 days
The difference is simply because the opportunity cost in terms of alternate usage of funds has decreased for the company.
