The economy of a small island nation is based on two sectors, agriculture and tourism. Production of a dollar's worth of agriculture requires an input of $0.39 from agriculture and $0.44 from tourism. Production of a dollar's worth of tourism requires an input of $0.43 from agriculture and $0.28 from tourism. Find the output from each sector that is needed to satisfy a final demand of $49 million for agriculture and $39 million for tourism. The output from the agriculture sector is approximately $ ... million. (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest million as needed.)

This exercise requires the use of technology. Four sectors of the U.S. economy are (1) livestock and livestock products, (2) other agricultural products, (3) forestry and fishery products, and (4) agricultural, forestry, and fishery services. Suppose that in 1977 the input-output table involving these four sectors was as follows (all figures are in millions of dollars). Determine how these four sectors would react to an increase in demand for livestock (Sector 1) of $2,500 million, how they would react to an increase in demand for other agricultural products (Sector 2) of $2,500 million, and so on. (Round your answers to two decimal places. Let the columns of the matrix be given in millions of dollars.) Need Help?

1. An economy has two sectors: Electricity and Services. For each unit of output, Electricity requires 0.8 units from its own sector and 0.3 units from Services. Meanwhile, Services require 0.4 units from Electricity and 0.6 units from its own sector to produce one unit of Services. The production vector necessary to satisfy a final demand of 1,000 units of Electricity and 2,000 units of services is (a, b). What is a+b? 1. 8,500 2. 9,000 3. 9.500 4. 10,000 5. 10.500
Global Reach, Inc., is considering opening a new warehouse to serve the Southwest region. Darnell Moore, controller for Global Reach, has been reading about the advantages of foreign trade zones. He wonders if locating in one would be of benefit to his company, which imports about 90 percent of its merchandise (e.g., chess sets from the Philippines, jewelry from Thailand, pottery from Mexico, etc.). Darnell estimates that the new warehouse will store imported merchandise costing about 16.78 million per year. Inventory shrinkage at the warehouse (due to breakage and mishandling) is about 8 percent of the total. The average tariff rate on these imports is 5.5 percent. Required: 1. If Global Reach locates the warehouse in a foreign trade zone, how much will be saved in tariffs? Why? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.) 2. Suppose that, on average, the merchandise stays in a Global Reach warehouse for nine months before shipment to retailers. Carrying cost for Global Reach is 6 percent per year. If Global Reach locates the warehouse in a foreign trade zone, how much will be saved in carrying costs? What will the total tariff-related savings be? (Round your answers to the nearest dollar.) 3. Suppose that the shifting economic situation leads to a new tariff rate of 13 percent, and a new carrying cost of 6.5 percent per year. To combat these increases, Global Reach has instituted a total quality program emphasizing reducing shrinkage. The new shrinkage rate is 7 percent. Given this new information, if Global Reach locates the warehouse in a foreign trade zone, how much will be saved in carrying costs? What will the total tariff-related savings be? (Round your answers to the nearest dollar.)

. A manager is trying to decide whether to build a small, medium, or large facility. Demand can be low, average, or high, with the estimated probabilities being 0.25, 0.40, and 0.35, respectively. A small facility is expected to earn an after-tax net present value of just $18,000 if demand is low. If demand is average, the small facility is expected to earn $75,000; it can be increased to medium size to earn a net present value of $60,000. If demand is high, the small facility is expected to earn $75,000 and can be expanded to medium size to earn $60,000 or to large size to earn $125,000. A medium-sized facility is expected to lose an estimated $25,000 if demand is low and earn $140,000 if demand is average. If demand is high, the medium-sized facility is expected to earn a net present value of $150,000; it can be expanded to a large size for a net payoff of $145,000. If a large facility is built and demand is high, earnings are expected to be $220,000. If demand is average for the…
