The question is incomplete:
If Farmer Brown plants no seeds on his farm, he gets no harvest. If he plants 1 bag of seeds, he gets 5 bushels of wheat. If he plants 2 bags, he gets 9 bushels. If he plants 3 bags, he gets 12 bushels. A bag of seeds costs $120, and seeds are his only cost.
Farmer Brown's total-cost curve is
a. increasing at an increasing rate.
b. increasing at a decreasing rate.
c. increasing at a constant rate.
d. decreasing.
Answer:
a. increasing at an increasing rate.
Explanation:
To determine the answer, you can create a graph with the information given hich is attached.
You can see that the curve is increasing and because of that you can eliminate option d that is decreasing. Then, you have to consider that increasing at a constant rate would show an straight line which is not the case. Also, increasing at a decreasing rate would show a decreasing slope which is not what you see in the graph. Because of that, the answer is that Farmer Brown’s total cost curve is increasing at an increasing rate because the graphs shows an increasing slope.

Answer:
D. The payback period is less than 2 years.
Explanation:
Discount rate 5%
0 1 2
intital investment -10
cash flow 0 30
Total cash flow -10 0 30
NPV 17.21
IRR 73%
Therefore, The NPV is 17.21 and is positive, the statement is True.
IRR > 50%, Therefore the statement made is True
Accounting rate of return = {[(30 - 10)/10]^(1/2)} - 1
= 41% > 0
Therefore, The statement made is true.
Payback period = 2 years, Therefore the statement made is NOT true.
