A Farmer has 240 acres under cultivation at the cost $188.99 per acre. If he
averages a yield of 60 bushel per acre, what profit is expected if the price per
bushel is $5.67 - -First figure out total cost cultivation. $189.99 per acre
x 240 acres = $45,357.60 So basically it costs the farmer $45,357.60 to
maintain 240 acres. Next, figure out how much he earns per bushel. 60
bushels per acre x 240 acres- 14,400 bushel total. 14,400 x $5.67 (cost per

$45,357.60 because that's how much he is losing (spending) to maintain his
farm $81,648- $45,357.60 = $36,290.40
