It cost .2*40000=$<<.2*40000=8000>>8000 more to feed than buy them

So the total cost to feed them was 40000+8000=$<<40000+8000=48000>>48,000

So in total it cost 48000+40000=$<<48000+40000=88000>>88,000

Each cow sells for 2*1000=$<<2*1000=2000>>2000

So he sells them for 2000*100=$<<2000*100=200000>>200,000

So he makes a profit of 200,000-88,000=$<<200000-88000=112000>>112,000
