b).$280,000.
c) $155,000.
d) $220,000.

Option(a) is correct.

Explanation:

Total Revenue = Units sold × price per unit sold

                        = 11,000 × $75

                        = $825,000

Explicit cost = Units sold × cost per unit

                    = 11,000 × $55

                    = $605,000

Implicit cost = Earning at state university + Entrepreneurial talent + cash bonds at 10% interest

                    = $45000 + $5,000 + ($100,000 × 10%)

                    = $60,000

Economic profits = Total Revenue - (Explicit cost + Implicit cost)

                            = $825,000 - ($605,000 + $60,000)

                            = $825,000 - $665,000

                            = $160,000
