A machine part to be fabricated may be made from alloy of either of two metals. There is an order for 10,000 units. Metal A costs 3 pesos per kg, while Metal B costs 9 pesos per kg. If Metal A is used, the material per unit weighs 110 grams; for metal B, 30 grams. When metal A is used, 50 units can be produced per hour; for metal B, 80 units per hour. Metal B fabrication requires the aid of a tool costing P1,000, which will be useless after the 10,000 units are finished. The machine operator's wage is P50 per hour. If all other costs are identical, determine which material will be more economical to finish the 10,000-unit order. How much is the total cost difference between the use of metal A and metal B?
