Haupt has developed new software that will revolutionize billing for companies. Haupt has already invested $300,000 in the software. It can market the software as is at $50,000 a client and expects to sell to eight clients. Haupt can develop the software further, adding integration to Microsoft products at an additional development cost of $150,000. The additional development will allow Haupt to sell the software for $60,000 each, but to ten clients.
