Answer

\(\boxed{X = \begin{bmatrix} 32.917 \\ 28.75 \end{bmatrix}}\) is the solution to the matrix equation

Steps

Step 1 :Given the input-output matrix \(A = \begin{bmatrix} 0.4 & 0.2 \\ 0.3 & 0.1 \end{bmatrix}\) and the consumer demand matrix \(D = \begin{bmatrix} 14 \\ 16 \end{bmatrix}\)

Step 2 :We need to solve the matrix equation \((I-A)X = D\) for the total output matrix \(X\), where \(I\) is the identity matrix

Step 3 :First, calculate \(I - A\) to get \(\begin{bmatrix} 0.6 & -0.2 \\ -0.3 & 0.9 \end{bmatrix}\)

Step 4 :Next, find the inverse of \(I - A\), denoted as \((I - A)^{-1}\), which is \(\begin{bmatrix} 1.875 & 0.41666667 \\ 0.625 & 1.25 \end{bmatrix}\)

Step 5 :Finally, multiply \((I - A)^{-1}\) with \(D\) to get \(X\), which is \(\begin{bmatrix} 32.917 \\ 28.75 \end{bmatrix}\)

Step 6 :\(\boxed{X = \begin{bmatrix} 32.917 \\ 28.75 \end{bmatrix}}\) is the solution to the matrix equation
