Answer: $ 23,000

Annual coffee shop revenue =$ 2,60,000

cost of shop(Expenses)=$ 2,10,000

Net income from shop=Revenue-cost

=2,60,000-2,10,000=$ 50,000

Sue can earn up to $ 83,000 annually from her job while opening a coffee shop she can only get $ 50,000

opportunity cost for sue=83,000-50,000=$ 23,000 by staying at her current work position
