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?)

Economic rent is a surplus payment when viewed by the economy as a whole but a cost of production from the standpoint of individual firms and industries. as the price of land increases, there is an incentive to provide more of the resource. land rents are necessary to the economy to ensure that the land is available for economic use. the supply of land responds to changes in rent, but in order to use the land profitably, revenue must cover the rental payments. the supply of land does not respond to changes in rent, but in order to use the land profitably, revenue must cover the rental payments.
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 $1,500 million, how they would react to an increase in demand for other agricultural products (Sector 2) of $1,500 million, and so on. (Round your answers to two decimal places. Let the columns of the matrix be given in millions of dollars.)
Kariega is a small town in the Eastern Cape, surrounded by automotive industry giants such as Volkswagen South Africa and Goodyear. These industries (directly and indirectly) generate thousands of jobs. These jobs vary from more specialised jobs such as production, industrial andelectrical engineers to information technology specialists and nurses to general assembly workersand canteen staff. The community directly surrounding the factories are generally living in informal settlements where poverty and unemployment levels are high and education levels are low. The Eastern Cape is one of the most poverty‐stricken provinces in South Africa and the presence of the automotiveindustry in this area is critical for sustained job provision and continued job creation. Thanks to the engine manufacturing section of the factory and passenger vehicle manufacturing for both the local and export market, additional jobs are also created as certain local components beingrequired for vehicle…
In 2016, X Company produced $100,000 worth of synthetic silk. In the same year, X Company sold $1,000 of this silk directly to consumers, via its online outlet. X Company also sold $50,000 of the fabric to Y Company. Y Company used the fabric in 2016 to produce $85,000 worth of designer swimwear. X Company sold the remaining silk in 2017 to Z Company, where it was all used to produce a single fabulous $300,000 Say-Yes-to-the-Dress-type gown. Under the Spending Approach, how much did all of this economic activity contribute to 2016's GDP? a) $100,000 in silk, $35,000 in swimwear, $0 in bridal gowns b) $50,000 in silk, $85,000 in swimwear, $300,000 in bridal gowns c) $1,000 in silk, $35,000 in swimwear, $251,000 in bridal gowns d) $1,000 in silk, $85,000 in swimwear, $300,000 in bridal gowns e) $50,000 in silk, $85,000 in swimwear, $0 in bridal gowns f) $50,000 in silk, $35,000 in swimwear, $0 in bridal gowns
Consider the following mini-economy composed of two firms (Firm 1 and Firm 2).Firm 1 is a farm and grows $4,000 of Wheat. Firm 1 keeps $1,000 of wheat in a silo to sell nextyear. Firm 1 then sells its remaining $3,000 of wheat directly to Firm 2. Firm 1 uses the $3,000 itreceives from Firm 2 to pay $2,000 to its workers, $200 on interest payments in outstandingdebts, and $800 in taxes.Firm 2 is a bakery and uses the $3,000 of wheat that it purchases to bake bread and sell it. Firm2 produces $7,000 of bread, selling $2,000 to the Government and selling $5,000 to privateconsumers. Firm 2 pays its workers $1,000, pays $1,000 in taxes, and the owner keeps the restof the money remaining as profits.13. Calculate GDP for this mini-economy using the value-added approach. What is thecontribution of each firm to this total GDP? 14. Calculate GDP for this mini-economy using the expenditure approach. What is thecontribution of each firm to this total GDP and what is the contribution of each of…
Explain with the help of Graphs of Total Product (TP) and Marginal product (MP) the three laws of variable proportions and their significance in Industry and agriculture. Give the relationship between TP and MP at different stages of variable proportions. What is the relationship between Average Product curve (AP) and marginal product curve (MP) and explain at what point a progressive firm should change its labor or capital inputs with more skilled labor or with new technological machine in order to remain comparative in the market. What would happen to its product in the market if it does not change its machines or if it changes all its machines at the same time
Assume in a two-sector economy made up of agriculture and manufacturing, the government introduces a subsidy of y per hour on labour in the manufacturing sector. What will be the effect of the policy on the equilibrium wage, total employment as well as employment in agriculture and manufacturing?
Sonya used to earn $25,000 a year selling real estate, but she now sells greeting cards. The return to entrepreneurship in the greeting cards industry is $14,000 a year. Over the year, Sonya bought $10,000 worth of cards from manufacturers and sold them for $58,000. Sonya rents a shop for $5,000 a year and spends $1,000 on utilities and office expenses. Sonya owns a cash register, which she bought for $2,000 with funds from her savings account. Her bank pays 3 percent a year on savings accounts. At the end of the year, Sonya was offered $1,600 for her cash register. Calculate Sonya’s explicit costs, implicit costs, and economic profit. Use the following information to work Problems 2 to 4.

Suppose the economy of an underdeveloped country has an agricultural industry and an oil industry. Each unit of agricultural output requires 0.4 unit of agricultural input and 0.2 unit of oil products input. Each unit of oil products output requires 0.2 unit of agricultural input and 0.1 unit of oil products input. (Hint: Write the technology matrix first) . If surpluses of 0 units of agricultural product and 610 units of oil products are desired, find the gross production of each industry. _____Agricultural industry gross production _____ Oil products gross production. _____Find the additional production needed from Agricultural industry for one more unit of oil product surplus. _____ Find the additional production needed from Oil industry for one more unit of oil product surplus.

Determine whether each of the following would increase or decrease the opportunity costs for mothers who decide not to work outside the home. Explain your answers. Higher levels of education for women Higher unemployment rates for women Higher average pay levels for women Lower demand for labor in industries that traditionally employ women Many households supplement their food budget by cultivating small vegetable gardens.

Since the end of World War II, manufacturing firms in the United States and in Europe have been moving farther and farther outside of central cities. At the same time, firms in finance, insurance, and other parts of the service sector have been locating near downtown areas in tall buildings. One major reason seems to be that manufacturing firms find it difficult to substitute capital for land, whereas service-sector firms that use office space do not. d. Why is the demand for land likely to be high near the center of a city? *e. One of the reasons for substituting capital for land near the center of a city is that land is more expensive near the center. What is true about the relative supply of land near the center of a city? (Hint: What is the formula for the area of a circle?)
