Answer 1

$11,080

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what The net differential income from the lease alternative is

Using this formula

Equipment leased net differential income = Lease amount - Estimated expenses - Net sale of equipment

Let plug in the formula

Equipment leased net differential income= $47,000-$10,000-[$26,000-($26,000*8%)]

Equipment leased net differential income=$47,000-$10,000-($26,000-$2,080)

Equipment leased net differential income=$47,000-$12,000-$23,920

Equipment leased net differential income=$47,000-$35,920

Equipment leased net differential income=$11,080

Therefore The net differential income from the lease alternative is $11,080
