A binary model to identify upsell prospects was validated on 10,000 users with confusion matrix counts: TP=800, FP=1,200, FN=200, TN=7,800. Per true positive incremental profit = $50, per false positive outreach cost = $5, per false negative opportunity cost = $20. Compute the net expected profit attributable to the model on the validation set and annualize if this volume repeats monthly.
