B) Suppose that a large deposit of iron ore (an input in steel production) has recently been discovered which has lowered the price of iron ore. Show (graphically) and explain, how this will affect the market for steel.
Homework Answers
B
Increase in the deposit of iron ores, will reduce the cost of raw material for steel and cost of production of steel will decrease. As a result, supply of steel in the market will shift to the right and supply of steel will increase. It is illustrated in the following graph.

1. The steel factory makes steel from iron ore and coal. Both iron and coal mines are near city A, while the demand for steel is in city B, which is 100 kilometers away. The factory makes 1 ton of steel from 1 ton of coal and 2 tonnes of iron to scale. Shipping 1 ton of goods (either raw materials or final products) incurs a terminal cost of $100 (the fixed cost incurred as long as one needs to...

Meiger Mining, Inc., has just discovered two new mining sites for iron ore. Geologists and engineers have come up with the estimates on the following page regarding costs and ore yields if the mines are opened. Site A Site B Variable extraction costs per ton $ 3.80 $ 4.00 Fixed costs over the life of the mine: Blasting $ 150,000 $ 185,000 Construction 225,000 240,000 Maintenance 25,000 20,000 Restoration costs 40,000 35,000 Total fixed costs $ 440,000 $ 480,000 Total...

Chinese steel company Wuhan Iron and Steel has found a chromium deposit in northwestern Xinjiang, not far from the Kazakh border. (Chromium is added to steel to make stainless steel, which is highly resistant to corrosion and discoloration.) WIS's MWTP for the chromium is 31200 - 520 Q, and the marginal cost of extraction is $5200 per ton. How much would the mine have to produce to satisfy every economic use, i.e. every use for which the value of the...

Suppose the U.S. seeks to drastically increase domestic steel
production. The current world price for steel is $300 per metric
tonne. To increase domestic steel production the U.S. applies a
tariff on all imported steel of $200 per metric tonne.
What is the price of a metric tonne of steel in the U.S. with
the tariff?

Suppose you have just been hired as the new production manager of Quest Steel. There are three plants currently producing ½ inch sheet steel of identical quality. Total cost of production in plant 1 is C1 = 1 + 10q1, Where q is measured in tones and C is in dollars. The total cost function in plant 2 is C2 = 10 + .5(q2)2 + 2q2 Cost at plant 3 is given by C3 = 5 + (q3)2 Total production...

ABC Mining Company has been operating an iron ore mine for the last 10 years. With the passage of time, the company finds that the iron ore extracted is declining each year. The company just paid a dividend of $2 per share and announced that the amount would decline at a rate of 3% each year for the foreseeable future. The required return for ABC Mining shares is 13% (a) What is the price per share of ABC Mining Company?...
