23. Consider a simple economy with just two industries: farming and manufacturing. Farming consumes 1/2 of the food and 1/3 of the manufactured goods. Manufacturing consumes 1/2 of the food and 2/3 of the manufactured goods. Assuming the economy is closed and in equilibrium, find the relative outputs of the farming and manufacturing industries.
Prime Paints manufactures two types of paints, one for interior painting and the other for exterior painting. Both types require the use of two raw materials - M1 and M2, so that the maximum daily availabilities of these materials are 24 tons and 6 tons, respectively. It is known that 1 ton of the interior type of paint requires 4 tons of M1 and 2 tons of M2. On the other hand, 1 ton of the exterior type of paint requires 6 tons of M1 and 1 ton of M2. It has been established that the daily demand for interior paint cannot exceed that for the exterior paint by more than 1 ton. Also, the maximum daily demand for interior paint is 2 tons. The company wants to determine the optimum product mix of interior and exterior paints to maximize the total daily profit given that the profit per ton of the interior paint is 4 thousand dollars and the profit per ton of the exterior paint is 5 thousand dollars.
