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 correct answer 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 bushel) = $81,648 $81,648 is how much he earns, but you
have to subtract $45,357.60 because that's how much he is losing (spending) to maintain his farm
$81,648- $45,357.60 = $36,290.40
