a) The weekly production of kitchen and bedroom suites:
Factory A: 3* [30/40] = [90/120] ~note: these matrices are 2 by 1
Factory B: 8* [10/15] = [80/120] ~these are also 2 by 1
There are three factories of type A so I multiplied the production for one week in a factory by three to represent the amount produced in all three factories of this type. The same was done to the second type of factory which has eight factories.
To find the total amount of suites over both factories I now add the amounts that I acquired in the first step:
[90/120] + [80/120] = [170/240] ~again 2 by 1 matrices
Therefore, in one week, 170 kitchen suites are produced and 240 bedroom suites are produced.
b) The total market value of the goods purchased:
[170 240] * [1500/2200] = [783,000]
This says that 170 kitchen suites and 240 bedroom suites multiplied by their respective prices ($1500 per kitchen and $2200 per bedroom) gives us the total value of all the suites. Note, that when I did this, the number of suites was in a 1 by 2 format and the prices are in a 2 by 1 format so that multiplying could be achieved.

I like your use of colour. I was easy to understand, only suggestion is to add some spaces between your sentences so people (like me) don't get lost in the big sections of words. Other than that I found it helpful
