Answer: Benefits outweigh the costs by $50,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Plant set up cost = $3,500,000

Cost to train employees = $750,000

Cost to build relationships = $100,000

Gross profit from plant(Benefits) = $4,400,000

Total costs = Plant set up cost + Cost to train employees + Cost to build relationships

= $3,500,000 + $750,000 + $100,000

= $4,350,000

Difference = Total benefits - Total costs

= $4,400,000 - $4,350,000

= $50,000

Therefore, benefits outweigh the costs by $50,000.
