. Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 87,000 Alphas during the current year. A supplier has offered to manufacture and deliver 87,000 Alphas to Cane for a price of $108 per unit. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 87,000 units from the supplier instead of making those units?
