Answer:

$160,000

Explanation:

Quit job earnings = $45,000

Entrepreneur income = $5,000

Money used = $100,000

Interest earned non money = 10% * $100,000 = $10,000

Sales revenue = 11,000*75 = $825,000

Total cost = 55*11,000 = $605,000

Economic profit = Sales revenue - Cost - Interest income - Entrepreneur income - Foregone job income

Economic profit = $825,000 - $605,000 - $10,000 - $5,000 - $45,000

Economic profit = $160,000
