The firm's (choose one) : loss per acre will be $ 192

Explanation:

Instructions: Enter only whole numbers for your answer. Enter a positive number after identifying profit or loss.

Wage to workers = 160 hrs x $6.20

= $992

Equiptment costs = $150 per month

Normal profit required = $50

Total cost = $992 + $150 + $ 50

= $1192

Total revenue per month = $1000

Profit = Total revenue per month - Total cost

= $1192-$1000

= - $192
