Using the same costs, you can approach the relative value of outcomes from a benefits perspective. When you correctly predict a YES (a responder), the benefit is $495. When you correctly predict a NO (a non-responder), the benefit is $5.00 since you can avoid sending out the mailing. As the goal is to find the lowest cost solution, benefits are represented as negative numbers.
