Suppose an economy has three sectors: Agriculture, Mining, and Manufacturing. Agriculture sells 5% of its output to Mining and 30% to Manufacturing, and retains the rest. Mining sells 20% of its output to Agriculture and 70% to Manufacturing, and retains the rest. Manufacturing sells 20% of its output to Agriculture and 30% to Mining, and retains the rest. Determine the exchange table for this economy, where the columns describe how the output of each sector is exchanged among the three sectors.

- 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.arrow_forwardThe Lawson Fabric Mill Produces five different fabrics. Each fabric can be woven on one or more of the mill’s 36 looms. The sales department’s forecast of demand for the next month is shown in below Table 1, along with data on the selling price per yard, variable cost per yard, and purchase price per yard. The mill operates 24 hours a day and is scheduled for 30 days during the coming month. The mill has two types of looms: draw and regular. The draw looms are more versatile and can be used for all five fabrics. The regular looms can produce only three of the fabrics. The mill has a total of 36 looms: 8 are draw and 28 are regular. The rate of production for each fabric on each type of loom is given in below Table 2. The time required to change over from producing one fabric to another is negligible and does not have to be considered. The Lawson Fabric Mill satisfies all demand with either its own fabric or fabric purchased from another mill. Fabrics that cannot be woven at the…arrow_forwardAssume the top three sources of oil imports for the United States in the same year were Saudi Arabia, Mexico, and Canada. These top three countries accounted for 45 % of oil imports. The United States imported 2 % more from Saudi Arabia than they did from Mexico, and 1.9 % more from Saudi Arabia than they did from Canada. What percentage of the United States oil imports was from each country? Percentage of the United States oil imports from: % Saudi Arabia: Mexico: Canada: % % Note:round your answer to one decimal place.arrow_forward
- The table shows the 2015 per capita total expenditure on health in 35 countries with the highest gross domestic product in that year. Health expenditure per capita is the sum of public and private health expenditures (in PPP, international $) divided by population. Health expenditures include the provision of health services, family-planning activities, nutrition activities, and emergency aid designated for health; health expenditures exclude the provision of water and sanitation.

It costs $8000 to fly an empty plane. Each person on the plane incurs variable costs of $30 (for food and fuel). If the flight is overbooked, anyone who cannot get a seat receives $300 in compensation. On average, 95% of all people who have a reservation show up for the flight. To maximize profit, how many reservations for the flight should you book? Hint: You can assume that the number of people that show up for a flight follows a binomial random variable.arrow_forwardA friend who lives in Los Angeles makes frequent consultingtrips to Washington, D.C.; 50% of the time shetravels on airline #1, 30% of the time on airline #2, and the remaining 20% of the time on airline #3. For airline#1, flights are late into D.C. 30% of the time and late intoL.A. 10% of the time. For airline #2, these percentagesare 25% and 20%, whereas for airline #3 the percentagesare 40% and 25%. If we learn that on a particular trip shearrived late at exactly one of the two destinations, whatare the posterior probabilities of having flown on airlines#1, #2, and #3? Assume that the chance of a late arrival inL.A. is unaffected by what happens on the flight to D.C.[Hint: From the tip of each first-generation branch on atree diagram, draw three second-generation brancheslabeled, respectively, 0 late, 1 late, and 2 late.]arrow_forward
- Suppose a bank draws its venture capital funds annually from three sources of income: business loans, auto loans, and home mortgages. One spreadsheet shows the income from each of these sources for the years 2023, 2024, and 2025, and the second spreadsheet shows the venture capital for these years. If the bank uses a fixed percent of its income from each of the business loans, find the percent of income from each of these loans.

Chemicals sells 30% of its output to Fuels and 50% to Machinery and retains the rest. Fuels sells 70% of its output to Chemicals and 20% to Machinery and retains the rest. Machinery sells 20% of its output to Chemicals and 40% to Fuels and retains the rest. Complete parts (a) through (c) below. ..... a. Construct the exchange table for this economy. Distribution of Output from: Chemicals Fuels Machinery Purchased by: Chemicals Fuels Machinery (Type integers or decimals.) b. Develop a system of equations that leads to prices at which each sector's income matches its expenses. Then write the augmented matrix that can be row reduced to find these prices. The first, second, and third columns of the matrix should correspond to Chemicals, Fuels, and Machinery, respectively. The augmented matrix is (Type an integer or decimal for each matrix element.) c.

- . In 2010, of a total of 67,000 rooms on the Las Vegas Strip, Caesars Entertainment managed 22,880, while MGM Resorts managed over 12,000. However, owing to the Great Recession and new hotel openings, between 2008 and 2010, MGM's hotel occupancy decreased from 92% to 89%, while its average daily room rate fell from $148 to $108. Meanwhile, CityCenter, managed by MGM Resorts, and the Cosmopolitan opened with 4,000 and 3,000 rooms respectively, and the 1,720-room Sahara closed. (Sources: Caesars Entertainment Corp., Annual Report 2010; MGM Resorts, Annual Report 2010; "Sahara's closure on May 16 will mark `the end of an era'," Las Vegas Sun, March 11, 2011.) (a) Using a suitable figure, explain how the opening of CityCenter and the Cosmopolitan affects the residual demand for an existing hotel and how it should adjust prices. (b) If MGM Resorts had not reduced its room rates, what would have been the effect on occupancy? (c) Use the Cournot model to explain…arrow_forwardAn angler fishes half of their time at East Delaney Lake, one quarter of their time at South Delaney Lake, and one quarter of their time at North Delaney Lake. Each lake has only two types of trout, brown trout and cutthroat trout. In East Delaney Lake, 6% of the trout are brown trout. In South Delaney Lake 64% of the trout are brown trout. In North Delaney Lake 69% of the trout are brown trout. Assume that any individual trout fish has the same chance of being caught by an angler spending time at that lake. Given that the angler caught a brown trout, what is the conditional probability that they caught the trout on North Delaney Lake? Use three decimal place accuracy.arrow_forwardA computer manufacturer buys 30% of its chips from supplier A and the rest from supplier B.
