The economy of a small island nation is based on two sectors, agriculture and tourism. Production of a dollar's worth of agriculture requires an input of $0.39 from agriculture and $0.44 from tourism. Production of a dollar's worth of tourism requires an input of $0.43 from agriculture and $0.28 from tourism. Find the output from each sector that is needed to satisfy a final demand of $49 million for agriculture and $39 million for tourism. The output from the agriculture sector is approximately $ ... million. (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest million as needed.)

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 $2,500 million, how they would react to an increase in demand for other agricultural products (Sector 2) of $2,500 million, and so on. (Round your answers to two decimal places. Let the columns of the matrix be given in millions of dollars.) Need Help?

Corn is an essential commodity in a small Central American country and the government intends to impose a tax on rich consumers in order to subsidize the consumption by the poor. The demands of these two groups are defined by P = 105 - qr and P = 50 - qp, respectively. The supply curve is infinitely elastic at P = 20. a. If the government wants to give a subsidy S = 10 for each unit sold to the poor, how much would the government have to spend? 100 400 300 600 None of the options

Global Reach, Inc., is considering opening a new warehouse to serve the Southwest region. Darnell Moore, controller for Global Reach, has been reading about the advantages of foreign trade zones. He wonders if locating in one would be of benefit to his company, which imports about 90 percent of its merchandise (e.g., chess sets from the Philippines, jewelry from Thailand, pottery from Mexico, etc.). Darnell estimates that the new warehouse will store imported merchandise costing about 16.78 million per year. Inventory shrinkage at the warehouse (due to breakage and mishandling) is about 8 percent of the total. The average tariff rate on these imports is 5.5 percent. Required: 1. If Global Reach locates the warehouse in a foreign trade zone, how much will be saved in tariffs? Why? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.) 2. Suppose that, on average, the merchandise stays in a Global Reach warehouse for nine months before shipment to retailers. Carrying cost for Global Reach is 6 percent per year. If Global Reach locates the warehouse in a foreign trade zone, how much will be saved in carrying costs? What will the total tariff-related savings be? (Round your answers to the nearest dollar.) 3. Suppose that the shifting economic situation leads to a new tariff rate of 13 percent, and a new carrying cost of 6.5 percent per year. To combat these increases, Global Reach has instituted a total quality program emphasizing reducing shrinkage. The new shrinkage rate is 7 percent. Given this new information, if Global Reach locates the warehouse in a foreign trade zone, how much will be saved in carrying costs? What will the total tariff-related savings be? (Round your answers to the nearest dollar.)
Our agriculture industry is incredibly important since it provides our food. Unfortunately, some of the practices currently being used in the industry are not very sustainable from an environmental perspective. As our population grows, and so does our food demand, it is becoming increasingly important that we manage this industry in a sustainable way. Assume a local farmer normally brings in crop revenues of $100,000/year. Erosion causes a 1% loss in yield each year. How does the discount rate affect the farmer's decision of whether or not to utilize erosion control methods?
