Two extension strategies are proposed to raise maize yields. Strategy A involves a group training costing \(\text{₦}150\) per farmer and is expected to increase yield by 15% for every farmer. Strategy B consists of individual farm visits costing \(\text{₦}500\) per farmer; it can raise yield by 25% but only 60% of farmers are expected to adopt it.
