A farmer plans to raise 12 goats for 30 days. Each goat gains on average \(0.25\) kg per day. The feed conversion ratio (FCR) is \(5\) kg feed per \(1\) kg weight gain. Feed costs \(\text{₦}150\) per kg. (a) Determine the maximum total weight gain the herd can achieve in the 30‑day period. (b) Based on this maximum gain, calculate the total amount of feed required and the total feed cost. (c) Find the average daily feed cost per goat.

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. Maximum total gain = 90 kg; total feed required = 450 kg; total feed cost = ₦67 500; average daily feed cost per goat = ₦187.5
B. Maximum total gain = 90 kg; total feed required = 500 kg; total feed cost = ₦75 000; average daily feed cost per goat = ₦208.33
C. Maximum total gain = 84 kg; total feed required = 420 kg; total feed cost = ₦63 000; average daily feed cost per goat = ₦180
D. Maximum total gain = 96 kg; total feed required = 480 kg; total feed cost = ₦72 000; average daily feed cost per goat = ₦200
Correct Answer
A
Correct Option:
Maximum total gain = 90 kg; total feed required = 450 kg; total feed cost = ₦67 500; average daily feed cost per goat = ₦187.5
