A regional increase in domestic cheese-making has produced a significant upsurge in the local demand for milk. In response, Bovo's Dairy farm intends to expand over the next few years, with the goal of more than doubling the farm's overall milk production. The current plans involves adding on a new wing, rearranging and resizing current cow enclosures, and purchasing a significant number of new dairy cows.
Which of the following MUST be the case if Bovo's dairy farm is to achieve its aim?
1. The new wing will not, at maximum capacity, contain fewer cows than are currently housed at the dairy farm
2. Cheese production, and the corresponding demand for milk, will not see any decline over the next few years as the farm's plans are implemented.
3. The cost of purchasing, feeding and housing the additional cows, when combined with construction costs will be less than the additional profit expected through higher sales of milk.
4. There is no shortage of available dairy cows in the counties immediately surrounding Bovo's farm.
5. Any per cow percentage decrease in milk production brought about by increased crowding will be less than half the percentage increase in the number of cows on the farm.
The correct answer choice is E but I'm not convinced. Isn't that too specific?
Please explain.
