what is the indifference point between the two alternatives?

Make ≤ Buy
30000 + 60x ≤ 50000 + 20x

Subtract 20x from both sides
30000 + 40x ≤ 50000

Subtract 30000 from both sides
40x ≤ 20000

Divide both sides by 40
x ≤ 500  

500 <––––––
----------------------

make will be cheaper than buy for anything less than 500

300 units should be in sourced <–––––
