In Problem 2, 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 4 units of zinc for each unit of alloy produced. If no other inputs are needed, the price of copper is $2, and the price of zinc is $3, what is the average cost per unit when 3,000 units of the alloy are produced?
