Answer:
($500,000)
Explanation:
Economic profit = revenue - explicit costs - implicit costs (opportunity cost)
The revenue is = $3.00 x 250,000 peaches
= $750,000
The explicit costs are = land cost + equipment rent + salaries
= $1,000,000 + 50,000 + 140,000
= $1,190,000
The implicit costs are = interest income + earnings as a shoe salesman
= $20,000 + $40,000
= $60,000
Economic profit = $750,000 - $1,190,000 - $60,000
= ($500,000)
Thus, the farmers' total economic profit is actually a total economic loss of $500,000
