Her profit will be $1610 (Calculation : $1610 = $4140 - ($2500+$30)) from the concession selling stand. The profit can be calculated by subtracting the actual sales with the total expense. She only captured 18% of the total projected sales which is $4140 (18%*$23,000) and she disbursed $2500 for paying the vendor and $30 for the employee salary.
