After specialization, the two countries can produce a total of million pounds of sugar and million pounds of grain. Suppose that Maldonia ánd Lamponia agree to trade. Each country focuses its resources on producing only the good in which it has a comparative advantage. The countries decide to exchange 24 million pounds of grain for 24 million pounds of sugar. This ratio of goods is known as the price of trade between Maldonia and Lamponia. W SUGAR (MIlons of pounds) SUGAR (MIlions of pounds)

In Bangladesh, it takes 300 labor hours to produce one TV set and 5 hours of labor to produce one unit of textiles. The unit labor costs for the same goods in the U.S. are 100 labor hours to produce one TV and 2 labor hour to produce one unit of textiles. Tv Textiles 100 2 Bangladesh 300 5 U.S. Which country has an absolute advantage in the production of textiles? Which country has a comparative advantage in textiles? The * has an absolute advantage in the production of textiles as its unit labor costs are * than that of Bangladesh. The opportunity cost of textiles in the U.S is and in Bangladesh is * has a comparative advantage in textiles. Determine the range of international relative price of TV sets with respect to textiles. The range for the international relative price of the TV sets with respect to textiles is and
