A farmer plans to plant two crops, A and B. The cost of cultivating Crop A is $40/acre whereas the cost of cultivating Crop B is

$60/acre. The farmer has a maximum of $7400 available for land cultivation. Each acre of Crop A requires 20 labor-hours, and each acre of Crop B requires 25 labor-hours. The farmer has a maximum of 3300 labor-hours available.

Answer:

We will plant 165 of Crop A

Explanation:

We will compare the marginal contribution for each crop:  A   B

Profit:                170.00     210

cost of cultivating:  40.00       60

CM per constrain      4.25            3.50

Crop A is better regarding cultivating cost.

Now we analize the labor hours:

Profit:                      170     210

Labor hours per crop 20       25

CM per constrain      8.50       8.40

Because Crop A is better at both constrain resource It will be better to plant only Crop A if possible. As assigning to Crop B will diminish the return on the scarce resourse.

We will see how much can we plant of Crop A

7400 / 40 = 185

3300 / 20 = 165

We will plant 165 of Crop A

which is the maximun we can plant at the given labor hours.
