Math

Processing:
(Time to make a full inventory of items + (Sell trip time per inventory × inventories needed)) / 3600 = Items per hour
Products × (Total time per craft + sell time) / Total crafts = Total seconds
3600 seconds / (Total seconds per trip + sell time) = Trips per hour
Trips per hour × Products = Total hourly items
Total hourly items × Profit per item = Copper per hour

Gathering:
3600 seconds / (Total group respawn time + sell trip time per inventory) = Cycles per hour
Cycles × Max gathers per cycle = Max gather per hour
Gathers per hour × Sell or craft profit = Copper per hour

Combat:
(Time for a full inventory + Sell trip time per inventory) / 3600 = Items per hour
Encounters × (Seconds per kill + sell time) / Items per kill = Total seconds for a full inventory
3600 / (Total seconds for full inventory + sell time) = Trips per hour
Trips per hour × Items per trip = Total items per hour
Total items per hour × Profit per item = Copper per hour
