    Fertiliser should cost less than $20 per pound.

    Explanation:

    Marginal analysis states that the marginal benefit of taking an action should put weight the marginal cost incurred for taking the action.

    The additional pound of fertiliser resulted in a crop gain of $100-$80 = $$20

    If for example the amount of one pound of fertiliser is more than $20 the business will start to make a loss.
