The world price of zinc has increased to the point where “mothballed” zinc mines in east Tennessee have been reopened because of their potential profitability. (a) What is the estimated annual profit for a mine producing 20,000 tons per year (which is at 100% capacity) when zinc sells for $1.00 per pound? There are variable costs of $20 million at 100% capacity and fixed costs of $17 million per year. (b) If production is only 17,000 tons per year, will the mine be profitable?
Suppose a company has fixed costs of $40,800 and variable cost per unit of x+222 dollars, where x is the total number of units produced. Suppose further that the selling price of its product is
