Answer:
Differential cost of Alternative B over Alternative A=$61,600
Explanation:
Differential Cost:
It is the difference in costs if there are more than one alternatives and one alternative is chosen while rejecting the other alternatives.
In order to calculate the differential cost of Alternative B over Alternative A, including all of the relevant costs we first calculate the total cost of both alternatives and then tae the difference.
Total Of Alternative A=Material Cost+Processing Cost+Equipment Rental+occupancy costs.
Total Of Alternative A=$28000+$34000+$11000+$19500=$92,500
Total Of Alternative B=Material Cost+Processing Cost+Equipment Rental+occupancy costs.
Total Of Alternative B=$64000+$34000+$28500+$27600=$154,100
Differential cost of Alternative B over Alternative A=Total Of Alternative B-Total Of Alternative A
Differential cost of Alternative B over Alternative A=$154,100-$92,500
Differential cost of Alternative B over Alternative A=$61,600
