[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]
Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $185 and $150, respectively. Each product
uses only one type of raw material that costs $8 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 119,000
units of each product. Its average cost per unit for each product at this level of activity is given below:
The company's traceable fixed manufacturing overhead is avoidable, whereas its common fixed expenses are
unavoidable and have been allocated to products based on sales dollars.

93,000 Alphas to Cane for a price of $132 per unit. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of buying 93,000 units from the
supplier instead of making those units?
