Answer:

Net differential income $12,700

Explanation:

The computation of net differential profit or loss is shown below:-

First we need to compute the income if equipment sold through broker

Sales consideration     $27,000

Less Commission         $2,700

($27,000 × 10%)

Net income                   $24,300

Now, we need to compute the income if offer is lease is accepted

Lease amount                 $46,000

Less: Repair, insurance

and property expenses   $9,000

Net income                       $37,000

Net differential profit from the lease alternative = Income if offer is lease is accepted - Income if equipment sold through broker

= $37,000 - $24,300

= $12,700
