Answer Happy

2. (This question is just an applied version of the previous one.) Suppose that you invented a product that picks fruit faster than any other fruit picker on the market. In fact, your machine picks 10% more fruit in a day than a comparable machine, and its operating cost is the same as the comparable machine. Thus, the farmers using it will make 10% more revenue per day with no increase in operating cost. You want to rent this machine to farmers during the harvest season. The rent is set by the day. Explain briefly how you would go about setting the rent you will charge for this machine. Why might you not be able to capture the entire increase in productivity in your rent?
