Answer:
The answer is explained below.
Explanation:
a) The first hectare can produce 1,000 bushels of wheat, the second 900, the third 800, the fourth produce 700 and the fifth would produce 600 bushels.
b) The revenue = price per bushel × number of bushel.
First hectare = 1000 × $20 = $20000
Second hectare = 900 × $20 = $18000
Third hectare = 800 × $20 = $16000
Fourth hectare = 700 × $20 = $14000
Fifth hectare = 600 × $20 = $12000
3) The cumulative revenue at the nth farm = revenue at nth farm + revenue at (n-1) farm
Also The marginal revenue at the nth farm = cumulative revenue at nth farm - cumulative revenue at (n-1) farm
