Follow-up Question

Where did the $30,000 for the annual benefits come from? Also, I though the formula for the payback method was payback method = (cost of implementing solution) / (annual financial benefits – annual costs). Is this what was used here?

Thank you for the solution.

I  did not understand how you got the figure of $600,000 at the following part
