Since you mention you did not study economics, I will make a small note on terminology.

"Earn" in economics means profit. What you mean, the way it might be said by economists, is you receive $1000 in revenue. That is, funds you get from customers paying for your product.

To go a bit further, you would "earn" that amount less the costs of providing the product, including amortized costs for its development.

Uhh.. this is true.. but it feels like nitpicking.. The OP clearly said the source cost is $1 per treatment.. so it shouldn't make a difference.
