    Total differential cost = - $73300

    Explanation:

    Equipment rental is equal in both alternatives, so it is not relevant for making a decision.

    Costs Alternative A:

    Material costs $ 38,000

    Processing costs 43,000

    Building costs 13,700

    Total = $94700

    Costs Alternative B:

    Material costs $ 66,000

    Processing costs $66,00

    Building costs $36,000

    Total = $168,000

    Total differential cost = 168000-94700=$73300

    Alternative B costs $73300 more than Alternative A. Based only on this information, alternative A is better than alternative B.
