7. "When all land is identical and there is perfect competition among

8. Johann Heinreich von Thunen's theory of agricultural rent is symbolized
as "LR=Y(p-c)-Ytd' where "Y" is yield or total harvest, "P" is price of crop,

market. If yield of palay is 3,500 kgs,NFA buying price is P17.00 per kilo,

is P1.00 per kilo of palay?
