Which of the given statements may be a reason for the given situation? A. Country M is employing new techniques to yield good crop and boom the productivity. B. Country M has faced two major droughts in the last five years. C. The revenue from other industries has increased in the past five years.

Question

Accepted Answer

1. Revenue from agriculture equals price times quantity: $R = p	imes q$.  
2. If Country M adopts new techniques that substantially increase yield, quantity supplied rises ($q' > q$).  
3. A larger supply can depress the market price to $p' < p$.  
4. If the price fall is proportionally larger than the quantity increase so that $p'	imes q' < p	imes q$, total revenue $R$ will decline despite higher production.  
5. Therefore, employing new techniques that greatly boost output can, through market-price effects, cause a reduction in agricultural revenue and so can explain the reported drop.
