Answer:
(1) Pe =0.3Pm + 0.15 Pa
Pm = 0.7Pe + 0.2 Pm + 0.3 Pa
Pa = 0.3 Pe + 0.5Pm +0.55 Pa
(2) The free variable Pa = 100
Explanation:
Solution
We create a table of outputs using the given percentages economy distribution
Energy Manufacturing agriculture Purchased by
0 0.3 0.15 energy
0.7 0.2 0.3 manufacturing
0.3 0.5 0.55 Agriculture
Let Pe Pm, Pa represent the prices for each sector
We then create an income equation using the expenses of the table above
Now,
Pe =0.3Pm + 0.15 Pa
Pm = 0.7Pe + 0.2 Pm + 0.3 Pa
Pa = 0.3 Pe + 0.5Pm +0.55 Pa
