Differential Costs and RevenuesCosts and revenues that differ

among alternatives.Example: You have a job paying $1,500 per month inyour hometown. You have a job offer in aneighboring city that pays $2,000 per month. Thecommuting cost to the city is $300 per month.

Example: You have a job paying $1,500 per month inyour hometown. You have a job offer in aneighboring city that pays $2,000 per month. Thecommuting cost to the city is $300 per month.

Differential revenue is:$2,000 – $1,500 = $500

Differential cost is:$300

Net Differential Benefit is:$200

Sunk CostsCannot be changed by any decision. They

are not differential costs and should beignored when making decisions.

Example: You bought an automobile that cost$10,000 two years ago. The $10,000 cost is

sunk because whether you drive it, park it, tradeit, or sell it, you cannot change the $10,000 cost.
