2. Assume a Ricardian, constant-cost world. There are two countries, the United Kingdom and France. Each country can produce cameras and milk. The table below shows production per man-hour for each country. United France Kingdom Cameras 6 2 Milk 1 2 The United Kingdom has a labor force of 1,000 workers, and France has a labor force of 500 workers. a) Use this information to graph production possibilities frontiers for both countries. Put cameras on the horizontal axis. b) Assuming that a world price is established at which both countries can gain from trade, show possible consumption frontiers for each country.

Question 26 Consider two countries, Spain and Norway, that use labour as an input to produce two goods: shoes and tables. • In Spain, one hour of a worker's labour can produce either 5 tables or 10 pairs of shoes. • In Norway, one hour of a worker's labour can produce either 20 tables or 20 pairs of shoes. 1. What is Spain's opportunity cost of producing 1 pair of shoes? 2. What is Norway's opportunity cost of producing 1 table? 3. Using the concept of comparative advantage, which country should produce which good? Give a reason why. 4. Which country has the absolute advantage when producing tables?
Nation 1: China Good 1: Smartphones @ Given: China and Japan produce only two goods. They have the same fixed resources are equally efficient and both countries have constant opportunity costs between the two goods. in one month China can produce 180,000 smartphones or 40,000 tablets. Japan can produce 120,000 smartphones or 30,000 tablets. Fill in the table below. Nations USA Russia Max Production Nation 2: Japan A) Graph the given information.

30. Assume a Ricardian, constant-cost world. There are two coun- tries, the United States and Canada. Each country can produce cam- eras and milk. The table below shows production per man-hour for each country. United Canada States Cameras 6 Milk 1 The United States has a labor force of 1,000 workers, and Canada has a labor force of 500 workers. a) Graph the world supply curve for cameras. b) Show a possible world demand curve and price (assuming that both countries completely specialize).
Countries trade to achieve economies of scale in production. Show in diagram(s) how nations (e.g. China and USA) can benefit from their specialisation in the production of goods and services with internal economies of scale (only a limited range of goods and services (e.g. China specialising in compact cars while USA specialising in large continental cars).

Task 2. Assume that Saxony has 500 labor hours per week, while Leinster has 1200. Both countries produce bicycles and roller skates. In Saxony, the labor requirement for a bicycle is 20 hours, while a roller skate costs 10. In Leinster, the labor requirement for a bicycle is 15 hours, while a roller skate costs 8 hours. In both countries, there are constant costs of production. a, Plot the production possibility curves for both countries. Plot community indifference curves as well and indicate a possible point of consumption and production (assuming there is no trade between the two countries)! Don't forget to name the axes. b, Calculate the opportunity cost of bicycle and roller skate in both countries. Which country has a comparative advantage in producing bicycle? And which one in roller skate? Why? c, Suppose trade opens up between the two countries and the international price of roller skate settles at 1.9 bicycle. Can this be the international price? d, Due to large scale…
