suppose that a new alloy is invented which uses copper and zinc in fixed proportions where 1 unit of output requires 3 units of copper and 3 units of zinc for each unit of alloy produced.If no other inputs are needed, the price of copper is $4, and the price of zinc is $5, what is the average cost per unit when 4,000 units of the alloy are produced?

A) $1.33
B) $14.17
C) $1,333.33
D) $27
E) $14,166.67

Average Cost

The cost per unit, determined by dividing the total production costs by the quantity of units produced.

Copper

A metal element with high thermal and electrical conductivity, often used in electrical wiring and construction materials.

Zinc

A chemical element with the symbol Zn and atomic number 30, known for its corrosion-resistant properties and wide use in galvanization and alloys.

  • Ascertain the mean cost for every unit of production.
