    Answer:Philo should sell.

    Explanation:

    If price falls $2, the final price would be $8. So Philo's income will be:

    40 acre x 100 bushel x $8 = $32.000

    And costs will be:

    Planting cost = $20.000

    Harvesting cost = $10.000

    Total cost = $30.000

    $32.000 - $30.000 = $2.000

    So Philo's earning will be $2.000
