Answer 1

other person is right

Step-by-step explanation:

240,000 is the right answer

Answer 2

The opportunity cost for a year will be $240,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

The opportunity cost of any decision is the second-best alternative that is given up or sacrificed.

Here, the manager has a farm of 100 acres of land.

If he sells it to a developer for $40,000 per acre, he will get $4,000,000 for the whole land.

He can invest this amount and get an interest of 6% per year.

The opportunity cost of keeping the farm to the manager himself will be

= 6% of $4,000,000

=
`(6)/(100)\ *\ \$ 4,000,000`

= $240,000
