7. Trading under increasing opportunity costsThe following graph shows the production possibilities frontier for the imaginary country of Contente under conditions of increasing costs. In theabsence of trade, the relative cost of rice in Contente in terms of computers (or the marginal rate of transformation (MRT) of rice into computers)is shown by the slope of line t₁, tangent to the production possibilities frontier at point A.RICE (Bushels)1009080706050403020100024"6сIB B8 10 12COMPUTERS1416184₁20Consumption After Trade?

Suppose that France and Italy both produce wine and cheese. France's opportunity cost of producing a case of cheese is 5 barrels of wine, while Italy's opportunity cost of producing a case of cheese is 10 barrels of wine. By comparing the opportunity cost of producing cheese in the two countries, you can tell that comparative advantage in the production of cheese and has a comparative advantage in the production of wine. Suppose that France and Italy consider trading cheese and wine. France can gain from specialization and trade as long as it receives more than of wine for each case of cheese it exports to Italy. Similarly, Italy can gain from trade as long as it receives of cheese for each barrel of wine it exports to France. more than Based on your answer to the last question, a price ratio between benefit both countries. has a barrels of wine per case of cheese will
