What is the difference between total computed profit and total expected profit?

I am working with SAS Enterprise Miner 15.1. I see two different line charts for profit in the results window of my logistic regression node. One is for total expected profit and another for total computed profit. What is the difference?

Expected profit calculations uses predicted posterior probability * net profit at a give depth where as Computed profit is based frequency of events at a depth * net profit.
