Question

A corporate agricultural organization has three separate farms which are to be used during the coming year. Each farm has unique characteristics which make it most suitable for raising one crop only. Table below indicates the crop selected for each farm, the annual cost of planting 1 acre of the crop, the expected revenue to be derived from each acre, and the fixed costs associated with operating each farm. In addition to the fixed costs associated with operating each farm, there are annual fixed costs of $75,000 for the corporation as a whole.
