1.Use the marginal analysis technique to determine the quantity of organic coconut oil that will maximize net benefits. Present results in table form and highlight the maximizinglevel. 2. Graphically illustrate letter B. Separate the graphs for TB – TC approach, MB = MC rule, and net benefit (maximum). The sequence of the graph: (1) TB – TC approach (topmost graph); (2) net benefit (middle graph); and (3) MB, MC, & MNB (last, 3rd graph). But be sure that the graphs are parallel in X-axis so as to be consistent in the results. (Label your graphs accordingly and appropriately.)
