The management of International Aluminum Co is considering whether to process aluminum ingot further into rolled aluminum. Rolled aluminum can be sold for $ per ton, and ingot can be sold without further processing for $ per ton. Ingot is produced in batches of tons by smelting tons of bauxite, which costs $ per ton of bauxite. Rolled aluminum will require additional processing costs of $ per ton of ingot, and tons of ingot will produce ton of rolled aluminum.
