To meet sales demand, the company must obtain 2,000 units of product X next month. There is sufficient labour capacity to produce 1,500 of these units in-house during normal time. However, any production above this level would require overtime working which would be paid at a premium of 50%.

What is the total financial benefit to the company of purchasing the appropriate number of units from the external supplier rather than producing them in-house?

$30,000
