On the basis of the earlier debate in Unit 2, this piece of writing will
mainly discuss different types of money and details of the
information which can be included or left out in the differential
analysis method for Noman Al Juneidi's dairy company. Moreover, I
will clarify sunk costs and opportunity expenditures, conduct a
comparison between the incomes and outlays and a conclusion will
emerge concerning whether to shut down or continue a product line
and a customer. First of all, let me explain what differential analysis
is. It is differential analysis, alternatively referred to as differential
revenues and costs, in the situation where a choice is to be made
between different ways to make an action. Accordingly, the best
rule to keep in mind is to identify and select the most profitable
options. Notwithstanding, differential analysis requires a vital
consideration of all differential revenues and costs that differ in
nature when deciding between alternative actions (Differential
Analysis (Accounting) - Explained, 2022).
Thus, the company is able to retail miscellaneous kinds of products
in various governorates of Jordan. B2C businesses focus should be
on customers, product lines, and revenues which make the
customer the primary target. First and foremost, market analysis is
obligatory in order to gain a grasp of which products are more likely
to be popular with the consumers. On the basis of this, we can first
of all treat each separate item in a different way in each area. For
instance, let's say that product A is the most sought after in region
X and the least in region Y. By having this information, we can
create a differential analysis table that shows if dropping the
product out of X governate would increase overall profit or not
(Customer Decisions, n.d.).
Opportunity Costs are the benefits left when one option is selected
over another, and this method is considered a differential cost.
Hence, it is crucial to include it when preparing or performing
differential analysis. So, For example, decreasing the volume of
products in the Y governorate if it's not profitable (Differential
Analysis (Accounting) - Explained, 2022).Sunk Costs, sometimes
known as retrospective costs, are costs that are incurred in the past
and cannot be changed by future decisions. Hence, it is not
considered a differential cost, for example, marketing, research, and
equipment. (Sunk Cost, 2022)
