Compution of ranges where increase and decrease in return occurs
Oceanic Pacific Company has decided to conduct a series of experiments to determine the amount of tuna that could be caught with different crew sizes. The results of these experiments are as follows:

- Explain and show the point where diminishing returns occurs.
- Show the points or ranges where increasing returns, diminishing returns, and absolute decreasing returns occurs.
Suppose the market price of tuna is $3.50/kilogram. How many crew should the company use if the daily wage per crew member is $100. Show your work
