The Verona company offered to sell 10,000 units of part G to Planife at a price of $30 per unit. If Planife accepts Verona's offer, the freed-up facilities can be used to save $45,000 in relevant costs in the manufacturing of part G. In addition, an amount of $5 in indirect fixed manufacturing costs specific to the part G could be completely eliminated. what alternative is the most interesting for Planife, and by what amount?
