Hints or Explanation for Each Question

Base yield for field = Expected average yield for field
Est. of yield as % of normal = % of normal yield based off population of plants per acre from reduced stands (fig. 1)
Market Price ($/bu) = Expected market price
Weed control cost for poor stand = Cost of herbicide & application to control weeds
Est. of yield as a % of normal = effects on yield due to planting dates from delayed planting (fig. 2 or fig. 3)
Cost of replanting ($/ac) = Cost of replanting per acre (tillage, seed, herbicide, labor)
