Correct Answer: Option n
Explanation:
(a)Total Revenue at P = 30 + 1 = N31
Marginal Revenue at Q = N28 - N24 = N4
Marginal Revenue at R = N24 - N28 = -N4 Total Cost at S = N25 + Ni = N26
Marginal cost at T = N16 - N8 = N8
Marginal cost at U = N25 - N25 = NO
(b) The profit is maximized at output 4kg of yams when MC = MR
(c) At output 5kg, Profit = TR - TC = N30 - N25 = N5
(d) Marginal cost (MC) begins to rise from output
(a)Total Revenue at P = 30 + 1 = N31
Marginal Revenue at Q = N28 - N24 = N4
Marginal Revenue at R = N24 - N28 = -N4 Total Cost at S = N25 + Ni = N26
Marginal cost at T = N16 - N8 = N8
Marginal cost at U = N25 - N25 = NO
(b) The profit is maximized at output 4kg of yams when MC = MR
(c) At output 5kg, Profit = TR - TC = N30 - N25 = N5
(d) Marginal cost (MC) begins to rise from output
