The costs and revenues associated with each alternative are listed below: Alternative A Alternative B Projected revenue $ 210,000 $ 300,000 Unit-level costs 40,000 51,000 Batch-level costs 27,500 39,000 Product-level costs 30,000 32,000 Facility-level costs 25,000 27,500 What is the differential revenue for this decision?
A. $115,000
B. $90,000
C. $210.000
D. $300,000

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option (B)  $90,000

Explanation:

Given Data;

Alternative A Projected revenue= $ 210,000

Alternative B Projected revenue = $ 300,000

A -Unit-level costs = $40,000

B- Unit-level costs = $51,000

A -Batch-level costs $27,500

B- Batch-level costs = $39,000

A -Product-level costs = $30,000

B-Product-level costs = $32,000

A-Facility-level costs = $25,000

B-Facility-level costs = $27,500

To calculate the differential revenue, we use the formula;

Differential revenue = Revenue for alternative A - Revenue for alternative B

Substituting, we have

Differential revenue = $300,000 - $210,000

                                 = $90,000
