3. Differential Analysis Differential analysis is used for analyzing: 1. Leasing or selling equipment 2. Discontinuing an unprofitable segment 3. Manufacturing or purchasing a needed part 4. Replacing usable fixed assets 5. Processing further or selling an intermediate product 6. Accepting additional business at a special price

4. Proposal to Lease or Sell Equipment June 22, 2003 Differential revenue from alternatives: Revenue from lease $160,000 Revenue from sales 100,000 Differential revenue from lease $60,000 Differential cost of alternatives: Repairs, insurance, taxes $ 35,000 Commission expense on sale 6,000 Differential cost of lease 29,000 Net differential income from leasing $31,000

5. Proposal to Lease or Sell Equipment June 22, 2003 Lease Sell Revenue from lease $160,000 Revenue from sales 100,000 Repairs, insurance, taxes (35,000) Commission expense on sale (6,000) Totals $125,000 $94,000 This alternative format separates the two options into columns. The net benefit is the same.

6. Proposal to Lease or Sell Equipment June 22, 2003 Lease Sell Revenue from lease $160,000 Revenue from sales 100,000 Repairs, insurance, taxes (35,000) Commission expense on sale (6,000) Totals $125,000 $94,000 Net benefit from leasing $31,000 This analysis indicates that it would be better to lease the equipment rather then sell it. What other factors should be considered?
