Bates company plans to add a new item to its line of consumer product offerings. two possible products are under consideration. each unit of product a costs $6 to produce and has a contribution margin of $3, while each unit of product b costs $12 and has a contribution margin of $4. what is the differential revenue for this decision? a.$7b.$1c.$6d.$9

differential revenue = $7

so correct option is a.$7

Explanation:

given data

Product A costs = $6

contribution margin = $3

Product B costs = $12

contribution margin = $4

to find out

the differential revenue for this decision

solution

we get here the differential revenue for this decision that is express

so first we get here selling price for both product that is

selling price product A = Product A costs + contribution margin

selling price product A  = $6 + $3 = $9

and

selling price product B   = $12 + $4 = $16

so now we get differential revenue that is

differential revenue = selling price product B - selling price product A

differential revenue = $16 - $9

differential revenue = $7

so correct option is a.$7
