Jane is considering leaving her job, which pays $80,000 per year, to start her own business. She expects first-year revenues for the new company to be about $500,000; annual overhead and operating expenses are expected to be about $430,000.

If Jane decides to embark on the new venture, what is her predicted economic profit for the first year of operation? (Ignore taxes and benefits.) -$10,000 $20,000 $70,000 $80,000
