Answer 1

Solution:

$Total \;marketing\; cost\; incurred \;by \;the\; farmer = 750 \;quintals\times 6 \;rupees\; per\; quintal = 4,500\;rupees$

Total Marketing cost incurred by the farmer = 4,500 rupees

Wholesalers margin:

Purchase = $750 \;quintals\times 1050\;per\; quintal = 787,500\;rupees$

Cost incurred = $750 \;quintals\times 48.937\;per\; quintal = 36,702\;rupees$

Revenue = $750 \;quintals\times 1140\;per\; quintal = 855,000\;rupees$

Margin = $Revenue-Purchase -Cost\; incurred$

$=855,000-787,500-36,702 = 30,798\;rupees$

Wholesalers Margin = 30,798 rupees

Retailer body cost incurred = $750 \;quintals\times 15.363\;per\; quintal = 11,522.25\;rupees$

Revenue = $750 \;quintals\times 1200\;per\; quintal = 900,000\;rupees$

Margin shared by retailer body and wholesaler = $Revenue-Purchase -Costs\; incurred$

$900,000-787,500-48,224.25 = 64,275.75$

Margin shared by retailer body and wholesaler = 64,275.75
