Gce Model Questions Vol1 2019 Agricultural Science Question 40
Practice objective / multiple choice question 40 from the 2019 Gce Model Questions Vol1 Agricultural Science examination.
A farmer must clear 2.5 ha of land using a hand hoe. With a standard hoe a worker clears on average 0.12 ha per hour; an ergonomic hoe improves efficiency by 35 % but costs \(\text{₦}8{,}500\) compared with \(\text{₦}5{,}000\) for the standard hoe. Labour costs \(\text{₦}250\) per hour. Assuming the farmer does the work themselves when using the ergonomic hoe (no labour cost), at what area (in hectares, to two decimal places) does buying the ergonomic hoe become cheaper than hiring labour with the standard hoe?
