Mexico Economy Economists generally divide a country’s economy into three broad sectors: primary, secondary, and tertiary. The primary sector is the sector using natural resources to produce raw materials, and includes oil extraction, agriculture, mining, and fishing. The secondary or industrial sector is the sector that uses raw materials to produce manufactured goods, and includes oil refining, textiles, and electronics. The tertiary or services sector provides services, and includes tourism, financial services, and health care. Exercises 25–30 are based on the following technology matrix for Mexico in 2008. (The sectors are in the order primary, secondary, and tertiary, and entries are rounded to two decimal places.)36
Determine how the three sectors of the Mexico economy would react to a decrease in demand for tourism (tertiary sector) of 1,000 billion pesos and an increase in the demand for raw materials of 2,000 billion pesos.

- In 2009, the population of the U.S., broken down by regions, was 54.6 million in the Northeast, 66.0 million in the Midwest, 111.8 million in the South, and 70.6 million in the West. The table below shows the population movement during the period 2008–2009.

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.

- Graphic designers/artists create visual concepts, using computer software or by hand to communicate ideas that inspire, inform, and captivate consumers. They develop the overall layout and production design for various applications such as advertisements, brochures, magazines, and corporate reports. Many are employed in specialized design services, publishing, or advertising, public relations, and related service industries. In 2014, about 1 in 5 were self-employed. A bachelor's degree in graphic design or a related field is usually required. The median annual wage for graphic designers was $45,900 in May, 2014. SOURCE: Bureau of Labor and Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2016 - 2017 Edition, Graphic Designers . After meeting with clients to determine the scope of a project, graphic artists typically design layouts and select colors, images, and typeface to use. They then present design concepts to the clients and incorporate changes recommended by…arrow_forwardCholesterol Cholesterol in human blood is necessary, but too much can lead to health problems. There are three main types of cholesterol: HDL (high-density lipoproteins), LDL (low-density lipoproteins), and VLDL (very low-density lipoproteins). HDL is considered “good” cholesterol; LDL and VLDL are considered “bad” cholesterol. A standard fasting cholesterol blood test measures total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. These numbers are used to estimate LDL and VLDL, which are difficult to measure directly. Your doctor recommends that your combined LDL/VLDL cholesterol level be less than 130 milligrams per deciliter, your HDL cholesterol level be at least 60 milligrams per deciliter, and your total cholesterol level be no more than 200 milligrams per deciliter. (a) Write a system of linear inequalities for the recommended cholesterol levels. Let x represent the HDL cholesterol level, and let y represent the combined LDL VLDL cholesterol level. (b) Graph the system of inequalities from part (a). Label any vertices of the solution region. (c) Is the following set of cholesterol levels within the recommendations? Explain. LDL/VLDL: 120 milligrams per deciliter HDL: 90 milligrams per deciliter Total: 210 milligrams per deciliter (d) Give an example of cholesterol levels in which the LDL/VLDL cholesterol level is too high but the HDL cholesterol level is acceptable. (e) Another recommendation is that the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol be less than 4 (that is, less than 4 to 1). Identify a point in the solution region from part (b) that meets this recommendation, and explain why it meets the recommendation.arrow_forwardIn Exercises 49-52, use the bar graph, which shows the receipts of the federal government (in billions of dollars) for selected years from 2008 through 2014.
