An economy has three sectors producing products:
Product 1, Product 2, and Product 3.
i. To produce 1 unit of Product 1 requires 0.20 units of Product 1, 0.15 units of Product 2, and 0.10 units of Product 3.
ii. To product 1 unit of Product 2 it takes 0.14 units of Product 1, 0.05 units of Product 2, and 0.12 units of Product 3.
iii. To produce 1 unit of Product 3 it takes 0.14 units of Product 1, and 0.08 units of Product 2.
Required:
(a) What should the total production be set at in order to satisfy an external demand of 100 units of Product 1, 120 units of Product 2, and 150 units of Product 3?

Answer from: taminazaka1

total number of products to be produced to satisfy external demands are:

product 1 : 157.8 units

product 2 : 153 units

product 3 : 174.4 units

Explanation:

What is question is essentially looking for is for you to add the total units of producing each product to the external demand to get the total production units that will not affect external demand. Let us start by outlining the products and requirements clearly.

for 1 unit for products

product unit required for 1 unit

products 1 2 3

product 1. 0.20 0.15 0.10

product 2. 0.14 0.05 0.12

product 3. 0.14 0.08

If the amounts shown above are for the production of 1 unit each of the products 1, 2 and 3, therefor, to calculate the individual units required in production of total demand units, we will multiply the amounts required for the production of 1 unit by the number of demand units. hence:

product unit required for external demand units

product units 1 2 3

100 units of product 1 0.20×100 0.15×100 0.10×100

120 units of product 2 0.14×120 0.05×120 0.12×120

150 units of product 3 0.14×150 0.08×150

after the multiplication the unit required in the production are:

product unit required for external demand units

product units product 1 product 2 product 3

100 units of product 1 20 15 10

120 units of product 2 16.8 6 14.4

150 units of product 3 21 12

Next, let us add the individual units required for the production of external demand units:

product 1 : 20+16.8+21 = 57.8

Product 2 : 15+6+12 = 33

product 3 : 10 + 14.4 = 24.4

Finally Let us add the total units required in production to the total external demand units to get the total units to be produced that will not affect external demand:

product 1 : 100 + 57.8 = 157.8 units

product 2 : 120 + 33 = 153 units

product 3 : 150 + 24.4 = 174.4 units

When these extra units above demand units are produced, they will make up for the amount of units consumed during production.

In the 10th grade, i was teamed up in a group of four. our project was on modern history. altho it seemed super hard for many of us. patrick fleming took charge and showed us the understanding of this project. his leadership showed great ethics and it taught me, personally, how to others understand, not just to show them, but explain it thoroughly. and altho he was a great teacher i would have changed a few things. one being his attitude. many times he would get frustrated and impatient with the group. i think a leader i would have done exactly what he did but with much more patience and be there more to explain. such as lunch learning. and giving everybody a chance to try to explain it in their head.
