Q

You are the project manager for a software development project for an accounting system that will operate over the Internet. Based on your research, you have discovered that it will cost you $25,000 to write your own code. Once the code is written, you estimate you’ll spend $3,000 per month updating the software with client information, government regulations, and maintenance.
A vendor has proposed to write the code for your company and charge a fee based on the number of clients using the program every month. The vendor will charge you $5 per month per user of the Web-based accounting system. You will have roughly 1,200 clients using the system per month. However, you’ll need an in-house accountant to manage the time and billing of the system, so this will cost you an extra $1,200 per month.
How many months will you have to use the system before it is better to write your own code than to hire the vendor?
A. 3 months
B. 4 months
C. 6 months
D. 15 months
