Resource Limit Corn Beans
Land 800 1 1
capital 90000 150 100
labor 3500 5 2.5
Gross margin 100 80
A- If this farmer plants only corn, how much profit will they have?
B- If this farmer only plants beans, how much profit do they have?
A) If the farmer decides to plant only corn, the quantity of corn that can be produced on the given land =
= 800/1 = 800
The quantity of corn that can be produced on the given capital = 90000/150 = 600
The quantity of corn that can be produced from the given labor = 3500 / 5 = 700
So, the maximum amount of corn that can be produced is 600 units.
So, the profit from producing 600 units of corn is 600*100 = 60000.
B) If the farmer decides to plant only beans, the quantity of beans that can be produced on the given land =
= 800/1 = 800
The quantity of beans that can be produced on the given capital = 90000/100 = 900
The quantity of beans that can be produced from the given labor = 3500 / 2.5 = 1400
So, the maximum amount of beans that can be produced is 800 units.
So, the profit from producing 800 units of corn is 800*80 = 6400.
