Answer to Question 1

Jimmy's profit is greatest if he grows either 40,000 or 50,000 bushels of corn. His (economic) profit at either amount is 10,000 a week. Between 40,000 and 50,000 bushels of corn, Jimmy's marginal revenue is 30,000, or 3 per bushel and his marginal cost is 30,000, or 3 per bushel.
