A farmer produces maize. Fixed costs are N500,000 and variable cost is N150,000 per ton. The market price per ton depends on the quantity produced and is given by \(P(Q) = 600,000 - 20,000 Q\) where \(Q\) is the quantity in tons. Determine the quantity \(Q\) that maximizes the farmer's profit and state the maximum profit.

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. Q = 11.25 tons; Maximum profit = N2,031,250
B. Q = 9.75 tons; Maximum profit = N1,800,000
