Two commodities A and B are produced such that 0.4 tonne of A and 0.7 tonne of B are required to produce a tonne of A. Similarly 0.1 tonne of A and 0.7 tonne of B are needed to produce a tonne of B. Write down the technology matrix. If 68 tonnes of A and 10.2 tonnes of B are required, find the gross production of both of them.
Suppose the inter-industry flow of the product of two industries are given as under.
Production sector | Consumption sector | Domestic demand | Total output | |
X | Y | |||
X | 30 | 40 | 50 | 120 |
Y | 20 | 10 | 30 | 60 |
Determine the technology matrix and test Hawkin’s -Simon conditions for the viability of the system. If the domestic demand changes to 80 and 40 units respectively, what should be the gross output of each sector in order to meet the new demands.
