Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the problem. The company is submitting a bid with expected net sales of $50,000 and estimated costs of $42,500. The goal is to calculate the expected profit, which is the difference between net sales and costs.

Step 2: Recall the formula for profit calculation: Profit = Net Sales - Costs. This formula helps determine the financial gain or loss from the bid.

Step 3: Substitute the given values into the formula. Net Sales = $50,000 and Costs = $42,500. The equation becomes Profit = $50,000 - $42,500.

Step 4: Perform the subtraction operation to find the profit. Ensure accuracy in the calculation and round the result to two decimal places if necessary.

Step 5: Verify the result by reviewing the calculation and ensuring it aligns with the given data. Double-check for any rounding errors or misinterpretations of the problem.
