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.)

Question 5 The Return of Detroit City: Enpar manufactures engine parts for Ford using steel as an input. Enpar operates two plants, one in Detroit, MI and one in Greenville, SC. The production functions for the two Enpar plants are: Detroit: QD= 40SD -0.25 Sp² Greenville: QG= 60SG-0.5 SG² where Qp and QG are the outputs of engine parts (in units) from the Detroit and Greenville plants, respectively. Sp and SG are the amounts of steel for the two plants. The firm has 110 units of steel available. How much steel should be sent to Detroit? Enter as a value.
Suppose in the economy of Apple Republic, the demand for money is given by Md = $Y (0.3 - i), where $Y = 100 and the supply of money (Ms) is $20. a. What is the equilibrium interest rate (i)? Answer: i = [ Select ] v %. b. If the central bank increases money supply (Ms) to $25, what is the impact on the interest rate? Answer: Interest rate (i) will [ Select ] to [ Select ] %.
The economy of a small island nation is based on two sectors, coal and steel. Production of a dollar's worth of coal requires an input of $0.36 from coal and $0.50 from steel. Production of a dollar's worth of steel requires an input of $0.46 from coal and $0.25 from steel. Find the output from each sector that is needed to satisfy a final demand of $27 million for coal and $42 million for steel. The output from the coal sector is approximately $ (Round to the nearest million.) million.
In the aftermath of a hurricane, an entrepreneur took a one month leave of absence (without pay) from her $6, 000 per month job in order to operate a kiosk that sold fresh drinking water. During the month she operated this venture the entrepreneur paid the government $3, 000 in kiosk rent and purchased water from a local wholesaler at a price of $1.40 per gallon. If consumers were willing to pay $2.30 to purchase each gallon of fresh drinking water, how many units did she have to sell in order to turn an economic profit?
- Suppose that we need to develop a model to help us to allocate a resource between two time periods: Period 1 and Period 2. Demand can be characterized in both periods as: P = 20-2Q. In both periods the marginal cost of extracting the resource is constant at $4 per unit. The total quantity of the resource that is available to allocate between the two periods is 18 units (in other words, Q1 + Q2 <= 18). Assume that the discount rate is 5%. What is the marginal user cost? a) 0; b) 0.76; c) -2; d) 1.9 Shark
We live in a world where computers and other items of technology seem to get ever cheaper to produce. Such technology is important in the production of a vast range of consumer goods. We wish to analyse the impact of this phenomenon on two key pieces of economic data. The main impact of the decreasing cost of technology is that (select from consumption/investment/government spending/exports/imports/economy-wide production costs/wage costs) would (Select increase/decrease) This would shift the (Select one from the picture attached) which (Select: Increse or decreases the price level) and (Select: increases or decreases GDP) Suppose that the economy is now away from long run equilibrium (GDP is above Yf). The way that the economy adjusts back to equilibrium is that (Select: interest rates/the exchange rate/factor prices such as wages/governement spending) (Select: Increases/decreases). This shifts the (Select one from the picture attached)
Read the following passage to answer the question: Various countries, including South Africa, China and India, have established Special Economic Zones (SEZs) within their domestic economies. Firms that operate within these SEZS receive several incentives including tax relief, rent- free land, capital investment and training. This is done with the expectation to increase exports and to create job opportunities for local communities. Based on the passage, which one of the following statements regarding supply factors and demand factors that affect economic growth, is true? Select one: a. Tax relief, capital investment and training are not supply factors, nor demand factors. b. Creation of job opportunities for local communities will be positively influenced by demand factors. C. The fact that companies operating in SEZs do not have to pay rent, is a demand factor that will affect economic growth. d. Exports by firm's operating in SEZs form part of supply factors.

The market for organic and locally sourced foods has skyrocketed over the past decade as consumers focus on improving their eating habits. However, severe droughts have caused organic food prices to rise significantly, forcing many consumers to shop at conventional supermarkets (which are increasingly adding organic food options) instead of organic food markets such as Whole Foods. In response, companies such as Whole Foods have begun offering more nonorganic options on their store shelves in order to provide their consumers with more affordable options. Based on this response, what did companies such as Whole Foods realize about the elasticity of demand for organic foods that caused them to lower their prices by changing the type of foods they sell?
Due to fear about mad cow disease, Japan stopped importing animal feed from Britain in 1996, beef imports and processed beef products from 18 countries including EU members starting in 2001, and similar imports from Canada and the United States in 2003. After U.S. beef imports were banned, McDonald’s Japan and other Japanese importers replaced much of the banned U.S. beef with Australian beef, causing an export boom for Australia (“China Bans U.S. Beef,” cnn.com, December 24, 2003; “Beef Producers Are on the Lookout for Extra Demand,” abc.net.au, June 13, 2005). Use supply and demand curves to show the impact of these events on the domestic Australian beef market.
