If the farmer can grow either crop, which crop should he grow to maximize his revenue?
A. Wheat
B. Maize
C. Either crop
D. Neither crop
Question 2
A government budget is given by the equation \( B = 1000 + 0.2Y \), where ( Y ) is the national income. If the national income is \( Y = 5000 \), what is the government budget?
A. ₦1500
B. ₦2000
C. ₦2500
D. ₦3000
Question 3
A monopolist faces a demand curve given by \( Q = 100 - 2P \) and a \cost function given by ( C(Q) = 10Q + 100 ). If the monopolist produces 20 units of the good, what is the profit?
A. ₦1000
B. ₦1200
C. ₦1500
D. ₦1800

A monopolist produces a good with a demand curve given by \( Q = 100 - 2P \) and a \cost function given by ( C(Q) = 10Q + 100 ). Find the profit-maximizing price and quantity.
A. \( P = 50, Q = 25 \)
B. \( P = 75, Q = 20 \)
C. \( P = 100, Q = 50 \)
