$10.$ Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell $69,000$ Alphas during the current year. A supplier has offered to manufacture and deliver $69,000$ Alphas to Cane for a price of $$136$ per unit. What is the financial advantage $($disadvantage$)$ of buying $69,000$ units from the supplier instead of making those units?
