Davis has developed new software that will revolutionize billing for companies.

Davis has already invested $200,000 in the software. It can market the software as is at $30,000 per client and expects to sell to eight clients. Davis can develop the software further, adding integration to Microsoft products at an additional development cost of $120,000. The additional development will allow Davis to sell the software for $38,000 each, but to 20 clients. Should Davis sell the software as is or develop it further?
