Answer and Explanation:
The computation of the increase or decrease in the net income when Alternative B should be selected rather Alternative A is given below:

Less cost -$100,000 $125,000
Net income $60,000 $55,000
If we choose alternative B so there would be decrease in the net income by $5,000
