Answer:

$60600.

Explanation:

Differential Costs:

Materials costs = $62,000 - $27,000

= $35,000

Processing costs = $33,000 - $33,000

= $0

Equipment rental = $28,400 - $10,800

= $17,600

Occupancy costs = $27,400 - $19,400

= $8,000

Sum of all differential cost = $35,000 + $0 + $17,600 + $8,000
