The economy of a small country consists of three sectors: Energy, Manufacturing and Agriculture. For each $1 worth of output, the Energy sector requires $0.20 worth of input from the Energy sector, $0.20 worth of input from the Manufacturing sector and  $0 worth of input from the Agriculture sector; the Manufacturing sector requires $0.40 worth of input from the Energy sector, $0.20 worth of input from the Manufacturing sector and  $0.20 worth of input from the Agriculture sector; the Agriculture sector requires the same levels of input as the Manufacturing sector does. What level of output should each sector produce in order to meet a consumer demand of $3 million worth of Energy, $2 million worth of Manufacturing and $1 million worth of Agriculture?
