    Option (c) : $16,600

    Explanation:

    As per the data given in the question,

    For computing the net differential income we need to do following calculations which are shown below:

    Sales consideration = $26,000

    Commission = $26,000*10%

    = $2,600

    Net income = $26,000 - $2,600

    = $23,400

    Lease amount = $48,000

    Repair, insurance, and property tax expenses = $8,000

    Net income = $48,000 - $8,000

    = $40,000

    Income if offer of lease accepted = $40,000

    Income if equipment is sold through a broker = $23,400

    Net differential income from the lease alternative = $40,000 - $23,400

    = $16,600

    Hence, option (c) : $16,600 is correct answer.
