We expect we will close $100,000 of business per week when we release this new feature. Furthermore, one of our competitors is right behind us, and we believe they will release a new version of their software with this feature one month from now. Task B takes one week to complete. The arithmetic is simple, and our options are shown in Figure 7-9. If we perform Task A first, then we delay Task B by two weeks, costing us $200,000. If we perform Task B first, we delay Task A by a week, costing us $250,000. Thus we should perform Task A first.
