Here is some additional information about this economy that holds true for all 3 years unless otherwise stated:

•Unless otherwise stated, the goods are produced within the economy. 

•Good 1 is purchased by firms, governments and foreign firms. The shares of good 1 that go to firms, government and foreign firms are 60%, 28%, and 12% respectively.

•Goods 2 and 6 are pure consumption goods. Good 2 is equally split between domestic and foreign households. Although good 6 is solely purchased by domestic households, 20% of it is produced outside the country.

•Both households and small businesses purchase good 3: three-fifths goes to households while two-fifths goes to small businesses.

•Good 4 is a capital intensive good that is purchased by firms and governments only; domestic firms purchase 80% of it while foreign governments buy the rest. Of the amount of good 4 bought by domestic firms, a quarter comes from abroad.

•Half of good 5 is consumed by households. Of the remaining half, three-fifths goes to firms and two-fifths goes to government. 

•The government has chosen 2015 as the base year.
