Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $210 and $172, respectively. Each product uses only one type of raw material that costs $8 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 128,000 units of each product. Its unit costs for each product at this level of activity are given below:

	Alpha				Beta
Direct materials		$	40			$	24
Direct labor			38				34
Variable manufacturing overhead			25				23
Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead			33				36
Variable selling expenses			30				26
Common fixed expenses			33				28
Total cost per unit		$	199			$	171

The company considers its traceable fixed manufacturing overhead to be avoidable, whereas its common fixed expenses are deemed unavoidable and have been allocated to products based on sales dollars.

Required:

Assume that Cane expects to produce and sell 98,000 Alphas during the current year. A supplier has offered to manufacture and deliver 98,000 Alphas to Cane for a price of $152 per unit. If Cane buys 98,000 units from the supplier instead of making those units, how much will profits increase or decrease? (Input the amount as positive value.)
