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 $2,000 million, how they would react to an increase in demand for other agricultural products (Sector 2) of $2,000 million, and so on. (Round your answers to two decimal places. Let the columns of the matrix be given in millions of dollars.)

Problem 2: Production economy Consider a production economy with two firms, X and Y, and two factors of production, labor and capital. Firm X produces the output good X with a technology that can be de- scribed by the following production function: fx(lx, kx) = lx + kx, where lx is the quantity of labor and kx is the quantity of capital. Firm Y produces the output good Y with a technology that can be de- scribed by the following production funetion: fr(ly, ky) = y + VAy, where ly is the quantity of labor and ky is the quantity of capital. The economy has a total endowment of labor L > 0 and a total endowment of capital K = L. The price of the good X is p > 0 and the price of good Y is q = 1. These output prices are determined on international markets and are not affected by the supply decisions of the firms. (a) Find the set of production efficient allocations in this economy.

Question-3 Consider the figure below which shows the combined production function of Anna and Bob: Wheat (bushels) A Free-time (hours) [slope at A = slope at y] a) Assume a case where Anna works the land owned by Bob. By referring to the diagram above, explain how does Anna rank the possible allocations marked as X, Y, Z and A? b) Now assume a separate case whereby Anna is a slave to Bob. It is also given that Anna recently suffered from Corona virus and thus her nutrition needs are amplified- for more hours of work that she puts in, she requires more bushels of wheat, even just to survive. Draw a modified version of the diagram above to depict how Anna's biological survival constraint change in this case and also comment with brief reasoning whether Anna would be better off on her altered biological survival constraint compared to before? c) Suppose a new scenario where the Government has introduced a new social welfare program to cater to the poor of the society, wherein the…
