    The alternative B has financial advantage of $21,700 over Alternative A

    Explanation:

    By comparing the two alternatives, we get to know the difference which is shown below:

    Material cost = Alternative B - Alternative A

    = $56,200 - $42,000

    = $14,200

    Occupancy cost = Alternative B - Alternative A

    = $22,600 - $15,100

    = $7,500

    Total cost = Difference of material cost + difference of occupancy cost

    = $14,200 + $7,500

    = $21,700

    The other cost like processing and equipment rental is same in both the alternatives. So, these costs are not considered.

    Since the amount has come in positive which mean the alternative B has a financial advantage of $21,700 over Alternative A.
