    Step-by-step explanation:

    Step one:

    The farmer sells his corn for $230 a metric ton

    small surcharge = $25.

    let the amount per metric ton be x

    and let the total cost per x metric ton be y

    the total cost function is

    y=230x+25————–1

    The neighbor sells her corn for $230 a metric ton

    he gives $15 rebate——A rebate is a partial refund of the cost of an item

    let the amount per metric ton be x

    and let the total cost per x metric ton be y

    the total cost function is

    y=230x-15—————-2

    Step two:

    Equating the two equation above

    230x+25=230x-15

    230x-230x=25+15

    0=40

    The result shows that based on the cost function of both farmer, there will never be an amount of corn that would make them have the same cost
