For example, all site work is carried out during weekdays and the company maximises the use of recycled and eco-friendly materials in its construction work.   The directors have become increasingly aware of the importance of their social and environmental responsibilities and they are also aware that Billy plc compares favourably with other companies in the industry. They are interested in how the good reputation of the company can be turned to commercial advantage but they are unsure how to best communicate their activities. They have requested that you…

Otherwise, you might complete only the foundation before running out of money, and then everyone would laugh at you. They would say, ‘There’s the person who started that building and couldn’t afford to finish it!’" Explain the meaning of (a) differential revenue, (b) differential cost, and (c) differential income.

Although the cost-plus approach to product…
