A farmer grows maize with fixed costs of \(\text{₦}120\,000\) per season and a variable cost of \(\text{₦}30\) per kilogram. The expected yield is \(2\,000\) kg. If the market price per kilogram is \(P\) and the farmer sells the entire crop immediately, the break‑even price satisfies total revenue = total cost. Alternatively, the farmer may store \(30\%\) of the yield and sell it later at a guaranteed price of \(\text{₦}70\) kg\(^{-1}\) after incurring a storage cost of \(\text{₦}5\) kg\(^{-1}\). Determine the break‑even price per kilogram in both scenarios.

Answer Options
