Assume that if Pharoah Water accepts Cliftons offer, the company can use the freed-up manufacturing facilities to manufacture a new line of growing lights. The company estimates it can sell 94,970 of the new lights each year at a price of $10. Variable costs of the lights are expected to be $7 per unit. The timer unit supervisory and clerical staff would be transferred to this new product line. Calculate the total relevant cost to make the timer units and the net cost if they accept Clifton's offer.
