Let's say there are two farmers who each own a farm with Marginal Cost Curves as shown below. Both farmers received a contract to produce 400 total corn bushels. How should the famers organize and work together to be most efficient? Should the farmers produce 200 bushels from each farm in order to get to a total of 400 total corn bushels? Why or why not? Farm 2 KE Bushels of corn MC₂ 200 Bushels of corn
