Answer:

opportunity cost = 30,000

Explanation:

The opportunity cost is the return in the alternative investment:

250,000 x 12% = 30,000 opportunity cost

The economic profit would be the  lease less the opportunity cost

35,000 - 30,000 = 5,000 economic profit

Note: If there was two or more alternatives, we should pick the investment with the highest yield.
