Start the iteration procedure followed in (9), (10), and (11) with an initial set of supplies equal to the consumer demand~, that is, x 1 = l 00, x2 = 50, x3 = 100, x4 = 0. Compute the right sides of the equations in (6). With this set of xi's and let the resulting numbers be the new values for x 1, x2 , x3 , x4 ; compute the right sides again with these new x; s; and so on. Do this iteration five times. Do the successive sets of X; S appear to be converging toward the equilibrium values given at the end.

First, think of what you know. you know that the number t the end of the equation will need to be subtracted because it is the money he lost from buying the lawn mower. and your first two weeks have negative profit, so that tells you that c and d are wrong. now you can plug any of the weeks into a and b to see which one works. i'll start with plugging week 1 into a.this isn't right because it says your answer for week one should be -90.so now we need to try the same thing with b.this one got you the right answer, (sometimes if you only check with one of the weeks multiple will work so you need to check with more of the weeks, but it worked out fine here)this means that b is the correct answer.let me know if you need more clarification. i hope this : )

The graph should look like a v
