Answer: The farmer's economic profit is $2,75,000.

Explanation:

Cost Incurred for Growing peaches (Explicit Cost) :

Rents equipment = $90,000 a year

Paid Wages = $1,50,000

Total Explicit cost = $2,40,000

Total Revenue(TR) Earned:

TR = Number of baskets of peaches produced per year × selling price of each peaches

= 2,00,000 × $3.00

= $6,00,000

Opportunity Cost (Implicit Cost):

Interest rate on savings ( 5 %) = 5% of $1,000,000

                                                  = $50,000

Farmer earn as a shoe salesman = $35,000

Total implicit cost = $85,000

<u>Economic Profit:</u>

Economic Profit = Total Revenue - Implicit cost - Explicit cost

                            = $6,00,000 - $85000 - $2,40,000

                            = $2,75,000
