Consider a capitalist economy which has two sectors: one producing food and the other machine-tools. Assume that capitalists and workers spend their entire earnings on the food. A worker earns $40, 000 in year in either sector. In the food sector, 200 workers work with machines/tools worth $4,000,000 and produce food worth $ 14,000,000 in a year. In the machine/tool sector 100 workers work with machine tools worth $8,000,000 to produce machine/tools worth $18,000, 000 in a year. What is...

Consider a small open economy (e.g. the Netherlands) producing two goods, clothing and food. The clothing industry uses capital (K) and labor (LC) as inputs, while the food industry uses land (La) and labor (LF ) as factors of production. The production technologies for the two industries are given by QC = K ¼ LC 3/4 ; QF = La1/2L F 1/2 . Also, the country is endowed with 216 units of capital, 360 units of labor, and 9 units...
