Do question 4
Suppose a Farmer has a fixed resource of 80 acres planted in corn. If the farmer does not cultivate the cornfield (clear the weeds) at all, the yeild will be 40 bushels per acre. If he cultivates the land onece, putput may rise to 50 bushels per acre. A second cultivation may increase output to 57 bushels per acres, a third to 61, and a fourth to 63. What will succeeding cultiation do?
