Mexico Economy Economists generally divide a country’s economy into three broad sectors: primary, secondary, and tertiary. The primary sector is the sector using natural resources to produce raw materials, and includes oil extraction, agriculture, mining, and fishing. The secondary or industrial sector is the sector that uses raw materials to produce manufactured goods, and includes oil refining, textiles, and electronics. The tertiary or services sector provides services, and includes tourism, financial services, and health care. Exercises 25–30 are based on the following technology matrix for Mexico in 2008. (The sectors are in the order primary, secondary, and tertiary, and entries are rounded to two decimal places.)36
In 2008, Mexico produced around 590 billion pesos of raw materials, 11,000 billion pesos of manufactured goods, and 9,600 billion pesos of services.37 Use these data to construct the input-output table for Mexico in 2008. [HinT: See Example 1.]

The table below shows the population movement during the period 2008–2009. (Thus, 99.23% of the population in the Northeast stayed there, while 0.16% of the population in the Northeast moved to the Midwest, and so on.)† To Northeast Midwest South West From Northeast 0.9923 0.0016 0.0042 0.0019 Midwest 0.0018 0.9896 0.0047 0.0039 South 0.0056 0.0059 0.9827 0.0058 West 0.0024 0.0033 0.0044 0.9899 Use matrix inversion and multiplication to estimate the population in each region in 2008.

The sales department’s forecast of demand for the next month is shown in below Table 1, along with data on the selling price per yard, variable cost per yard, and purchase price per yard. The mill operates 24 hours a day and is scheduled for 30 days during the coming month. The mill has two types of looms: draw and regular. The draw looms are more versatile and can be used for all five fabrics. The regular looms can produce only three of the fabrics. The mill has a total of 36 looms: 8 are draw and 28 are regular. The rate of production for each fabric on each type of loom is given in below Table 2. The time required to change over from producing one fabric to another is negligible and does not have to be considered. The Lawson Fabric Mill satisfies all demand with either its own fabric or fabric purchased from another mill. Fabrics that cannot be woven at the…arrow_forward***Parts a) & b) are answered please only do parts c) & d) *** An internet service provider (ISP) has experienced rapid growth in the past five years.

- Graphic designers/artists create visual concepts, using computer software or by hand to communicate ideas that inspire, inform, and captivate consumers. They develop the overall layout and production design for various applications such as advertisements, brochures, magazines, and corporate reports. Many are employed in specialized design services, publishing, or advertising, public relations, and related service industries. In 2014, about 1 in 5 were self-employed. A bachelor's degree in graphic design or a related field is usually required. The median annual wage for graphic designers was $45,900 in May, 2014. SOURCE: Bureau of Labor and Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2016 - 2017 Edition, Graphic Designers . After meeting with clients to determine the scope of a project, graphic artists typically design layouts and select colors, images, and typeface to use.
