    The differential loss from the lease alternative would be - $69,900

    Explanation:

    In order to calculate the differential income or loss from the lease alternative we would have to make the following calculations:

    Alternative I (Sale) Alternative II (Lease)

    Sale proceeds net of commission $354,900

    Total lease rentals $515,000

    Property taxes and insurance ($230,000)

    Net proceeds $354,900 $285,000

    Difference loss from the lease alternative would be - $69,900

    The differential loss from the lease alternative would be - $69,900
