A farmer has developed a new type of fertilizer. This new fertilizer costs 20 percent more to produce than the old fertilizer but has better results: The
same land now produces 25 percent more crops each year.
Which statement best describes one way the farm will be affected by using
this new fertilizer?
A. The farm's marginal cost for fertilizer will decrease.
B. The farm's marginal cost for fertilizer will increase.
C. The farm's opportunity cost for using fertilizer will decrease.
D. The farm's opportunity cost for using fertilizer will increase.

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Marginal cost is the change in total cost as a result of increasing output by one unit

Marginal cost  = Δcost / Δquantity

0.2 / 0.25 = 0.8

The marginal cost would decrease because the change in output is higher than the change in total cost

Marginal benefit would increase

Opportunity cost is the cost of the opportunity forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives. There is no enough information given to determine the impact on opportunity cost

sorry if this isnt what you're looking for i dont really understand the question

a 4/6 = 9/12   not proportional

step-by-step explanation:

to find which are not proportional, we can use cross products

if it is true, they are proportional.   if it is not true, they are not proportional.

a 4/6 = 9/12

4* 12 = 6*9

48 = 54

not this is not proportional  

b 2/3 = 12/18  

2* 18 = 3 * 12

36 = 36

this is proportional

c 5/4 = 10/8  

5*8 = 4*10

40 = 40

this is proportional

d 7/5 = 35/25

7*25 = 5 * 35

175 = 175

is proportional
