b. In keeping with the projected increase in worldwide demand for steam coal, the boilerfiring fuel used for generating electricity, the management of Consolidated Mining has decided to step up its mining operations. Plans call for increasing the yearly production of steam coal over its current level by:
2te-0.05t
million metric tons/year for the next 20 years. The current yearly production is 20 million metric tons.
