5. The price of trade Suppose that Croatia and Slovakia both produce beets and liquor. Croatia's opportunity cost of producing a case of liquor is 6 bushels of beets while Slovakia's opportunity cost of producing a case of liquor is 11 bushels of beets. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing liquor in the two countries, you can tell that Croatia has a comparative advantage in the production of liquor and Slovakia has a comparative advantage in the production of beets. Suppose that Croatia and Slovakia consider trading liquor and beets with each other. Croatia can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than of beets for each case of liquor it exports to Slovakia. Similarly, Slovakia can gain from trade as long as it of liquor for each bushel of beets it exports to Croatia. receives more than Based on your answer to the last question, which of the following prices of trade (that is, price of liquor in terms of beets) would allow both Slovakia and Croatia to gain from trade? Check all that apply. 8 bushels of beets per case of liquor 7 bushels of beets per case of liquor ☐ 1 bushel of beets per case of liquor 3 bushels of beets per case of liquor
