An economy has an agricultural industry and a textile industry. Each unit of agricultural output requires 0.4 unit of agricultural input and 0.1 unit of textiles input. Each unit of textiles output requires 0.1 unit of agricultural input and 0.2 unit of textiles input. Write the technology matrix for this economy. If surpluses of 5 units of agricultural products and 195 units of textiles are desired, find the gross production of each industry.

Explain the absence of economic profit in a purely competitive, static economy. Realizing that the major function of profit is to allocate resources according to consumer preferences, describe the allocation of resources in such an economy.
An economy can produce good 1 using labour and capital and good 2 using labour and capital. The total supply of labour is 100 units. Given the supply of capital and capital, the marginal products of labour for the two goods are as follows: Workers Employed 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 MPL in Sector1 4.53 3.42 3 2.61 2.34 2.22 2.07 1.98 1.89 1.8 MPL in Sector 2 4.77 3.15 2.46 2.07 1.8 1.62 1.5 1.38 1.29 1.2 a) Suppose that the price of good 1 is $1 and the price of good 2 is $2. Determine graphically the wage rate and the allocation of labour between the two sectors. [. c) Suppose that the relative price of good 2 falls to 1.3. Repeat a). d) Calculate the effects of the price change on the income of the specific factors (capital and capital) in sectors 1 and 2. [₁ +~1
Construct the Supply and Use table for the following: Corn was imported by the agricultural sector (100,000) and 80% used by the sector. Manufacturing industry utilizes 20% of imported corn to produce bread, which is sold to government, private sector and hotels equally. Household sector and private sector utilize the remaining corn equally. (Can the Supply and Use table be physically drawn, so I could understand clearly what a Supply and Use table entails?)
The following graph shows the weekly market demand for cheesecake in a small economy. Use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area representing consumer surplus when the price (P) of cheesecake is $3.00 per slice. Then, use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area representing additional consumer surplus when the price falls to $2.25 per slice.

plz help 4.11 (hand written i'll give you multiple upvote)
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.
2. The circular-flow model The following diagram presents a circular-flow model of a simple economy. The outer set of arrows (shown in green) shows the flow of dollars, and the inner set of arrows (shown in red) shows the corresponding flow of inputs and outputs. Markets for Goods and Services Firms Households Markets for Factors of Production Based on this model, households earn income when firms v purchase factors v in factor markets. Suppose Teresa earns $875 per week working as a corporate attorney for Rowan and Martin Associates. She uses $9 to order a mojito cocktail at Little Havana. Little Havana pays Sam $350 per week to wait tables. Sam uses $200 to purchase legal service from Rowan and Martin Associates.
