Answer:

$12,620

Explanation:

The net income of selling the equipment through a broker (Nb) is given by the selling price minus the broker commission:

[tex]N_b=\$27,000*(1-0.06)\\N_b=\$25,380[/tex]

The net income of leasing the equipment to Gunner Co. (Nl) is given by the total lease amount subtracted by the repair, insurance, and property tax expenses:

[tex]N_l=\$50,000-\$12,000\\N_l=\$38,000[/tex]

The net differencial income (NDI) from the lease alternative is:

[tex]NDI = N_l-N_b=\$38,000-\$25,380\\NDI =\$12,620[/tex]
