Neco 2021 Agricultural Science Question 6
Practice objective / multiple choice question 6 from the 2021 Neco Agricultural Science examination.
A farmer is choosing between a manual plough and a motorised plough for a 2‑ha field. The manual plough costs \(\text{₦}5{,}000\), requires \(2\) hours to plough \(0.5\) ha, and has no fuel cost. The motorised plough costs \(\text{₦}30{,}000\), requires \(0.5\) hour to plough \(0.5\) ha, and consumes fuel at \(\text{₦}200\) per hour. Both ploughs are expected to be used for 5 years, during which the farmer will plough \(100\) ha each year. Assuming straight‑line amortisation over the total 500 ha, which plough results in the lower total cost for the 2‑ha field and by how much?
