Two-Sector Economy A simplified economy consists of the two sectors Transportation and Energy. For each $1 worth of output, the transportation sector requires $.25 worth of input from the transportation sector and $.20 of input from the energy sector. For each $1 worth of output, the energy sector requires $.30 from the transportation sector and $.15 from the energy sector.

(a) Give the input–output matrix A for this economy.

(b) Determine the matrix (I A)−1. (Round entries to two decimal places.)

(c) At what level of output should each sector produce to meet a demand for $5 billion worth of transportation and $3 billion worth of energy?
