Vivian had a lifelong dream of opening a bookstore, but with big box national chains like Borders and Internet options like Amazon, she decided to focus on a niche market. She operates vending machines selling books dealing with planting and taking care of ornamental flowers at two airports in the Washington, DC area. This is not quite consistent with her original vision, but it satisfies her fixation on selling books. Now she has an opportunity to set up a third machine at the nearby Baltimore airport. She will lease the machine for $2,000 per year and pay rent (including all related expenses, such as electricity) of $2,000 per year to the Airport Commission. She figures her labor in servicing the machine will be about $150 per month. She buys the books for $2.00 each and sells them for $4.00 each. She is exempt from sales tax. Based on experience at other airports, Vivian projects that she will sell about 700 books per month. What will her profit be (if any) in the first year?
