Cost-Benefit analysis question.
 
I have a feeling that this question should be easy, but I can't get it. I'm thinking that the benefits is supposed to outweigh the cost, but I keep getting the opposite. Any help?

I'm not doing the math, but if the costs outweigh the benefits then you shouldn't join the Peace Corps.

Right now, all I have for benefits are 45k satisfaction and 50k for learning french.

The costs are 105k for the salary/room and board, 8k for the physical and transportation, and 3k for experience.

Since you're already taking the 30k peace corp pay out of the cost, why would you need to list it as a benefit?
