1
What is number of units demanded in B?
Discuss
Answer & Solution
The input into B is 1200 units and the output from B is (250 + 550) = 800 units.
Hence,
Demand = 1200 - 800 = 400 Units.
2
If the number of units demanded in C is 225, what is the value of M?
Discuss
Answer & Solution
C has a net output of 1100 units. If the demand is 225 at C, then to fulfill all conditions we need an input of 1325 into C. This will occur only if the value of M is 1075.
3
If the total demand in E is 80% of demand in A, what is the demand in A?
Discuss
Answer & Solution
The total demand in E = Total input into E.
  → 550 + 800 + 650 = 2000
$$\eqalign{ & = \frac{2000\times100}{80} \cr & =2500 \cr} $$
Hence, the demand in A will be 2500.
4
Assuming the information of question number 2 and 3 to be true, what is the total demand in the five cities?
Discuss
Answer & Solution
Demand = A + B + C + D + E
              = 2500 + 400 + 225 + 650 + 2000
              = 5775
