Manor, Inc. currently manufactures 1,200 subcomponents per month in one of its factories. The unit costs to produce the subcomponents are: Per unit Direct materials $ 42 Direct labor *84 Variable manufacturing overhead Fixed manufacturing overhead 67 90 Total unit cost $283 Manor is considering purchasing the subcomponents from an outside supplier, who normally charges $280 per unit. The supplier also has an "Exclusive Buyer's Club" which costs $28,000 per month to join, but whose members can purchase the subcomponents for $230 per unit. Fixed overhead is not avoidable. If Manor chose to purchase the subcomponents using the cheaper of the two buying options, what would be the effect on profit? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
