Suppose a farmer in Georgia begins to grow peaches. He uses​ $1,000,000 in savings to purchase​ land, he rents equipment for ​$1
mina [271]

Answer:

-$475,000

Explanation:

Total revenue = Baskets of peaches × Price

                       = 100,000 × $3

                       = $300,000

Explicit cost:

= Rent equipment + wages

= $100,000 + $100,000

= $200,000

Implicit cost:

= Land × Interest + salesman earned

=  $1,000,000 × 0.55 + $25,000

= $575,000

Total cost = Explicit cost: + Implicit cost

                = $200,000 + $575,000

                = $775,000

Economic profit = Total revenue - Total cost

                           = $300,000 - $775,000

                           = -$475,000
