    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
