    Farmer:

    Total cost of production of farmer = number of bushel * cost of per bushel

    = 119 * $3

    = $357

    Total revenue of farmer = price * quantity sold

    = $5 * 119

    = $595

    Total profit of farmer = Total revenue - Total cost

    = 595 - 357

    = 238

    Firm F:

    Total cost of production of firm F = pounds of flour * cost of per pound

    = 51 * $6

    = 306

    Total revenue of firm F = price * quantity sold

    = $10 * 45

    = 450

    Total profit of Firm F = Total revenue - Total cost

    = 450 - 306

    = 144
