A farm grows maize and incurs a fixed annual cost of N 100 000. The variable cost is N 8 000 per ton of maize produced. The market price per ton of maize is described by the linear demand equation \(P = 30\,000 - 500Q\), where \(Q\) is the quantity produced (ton) and \(P\) is the price (N).\n\n(a) Determine the break‑even output (in tons) at which total revenue equals total cost.\n(b) If the farm actually produces 4 tons more than this break‑even output, calculate the profit earned.

Answer Options

A. Break‑even output ≈4.8 t; profit ≈N 52 300
B. Break‑even output ≈6.0 t; profit ≈N 63 800
C. Break‑even output ≈5.2 t; profit ≈N 45 000
Correct Answer D. Break‑even output ≈5.2 t; profit ≈N 59 440
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
Break‑even output ≈5.2 t; profit ≈N 59 440
