Neco 2018 Geography Question 10
Practice objective / multiple choice question 10 from the 2018 Neco Geography examination.
A farmer has 10 ha of land to allocate between maize and cassava. Maize yields 3.5 t ha\(^{-1}\) and sells for \(\text{\u20A6}120\) per kg; its variable cost is \(\text{\u20A6}30,000\) per ha. Cassava yields 20 t ha\(^{-1}\) and sells for \(\text{\u20A6}25\) per kg; its variable cost is \(\text{\u20A6}15,000\) per ha. The farmer must allocate at least 3 ha to cassava but cannot allocate more than 6 ha to cassava. He wants to achieve a total profit of at least \(\text{\u20A6}2,000,000\) while minimizing total variable cost. Determine the optimal allocation of land (ha) to maize and to cassava.
