In the following table, select the amount of each good that each country exports and Imports In the boxes across the row marked "Trade Action," and enter each country's final consumption of each good on the line marked "Consumption." When the two countries did not specialize, the total production of jeans was 17 million palrs per week, and the total production of rye was 46 million bushels per week. Because of specialization, the total production of jeans has increased by 3 million pairs per week, and the total production of rye has increased by 18 million bushels per week. Because the two countries produce more jeans and more rye under specialization, each country is able to gain from trade. Calculate the gains from trade-that is, the amount by which each country has increased its consumption of each good relative to the first row of the table. In the following table, enter this difference in the boxes across the last row (marked "Increase in Consumption"). Dolorium Arcadia Jeans Rye…
Lorenzo and Neha are farmers. Each one owns a 12-acre plot of land. The following table shows the amount of alfalfa and barley each farmer can produce per year on a given acre. Each farmer chooses whether to devote all acres to producing alfalfa or barley or to produce alfalfa on some of the land and barley on the rest. Alfalfa Barley (Bushels per acre) (Bushels per acre) Lorenzo 40 8 Neha 28 7 On the following graph, use the blue line (circle symbol) to plot Lorenzo's production possibilities frontier (PPF), and use the purple line (diamond symbol) to plot Neha's PPF. 120 108 Lorenzo's PPF 96 CI O
3. Gains from trade Consider two neighboring island countries called Felicidad and Arcadia. They each have 4 million labor hours available per month that they can use to produce jeans, corn, or a combination of both. The following table shows the amount of jeans or corn that can be produced using 1 hour of labor. Jeans Corn Country (Pairs per hour of labor) (Bushels per hour of labor) Felicidad 5 20 Arcadia 8 16 Initially, suppose Arcadia uses 1 million hours of labor per month to produce jeans and 3 million hours per month to produce corn, while Felicidad uses 3 million hours of labor per month to produce jeans and 1 million hours per month to produce corn. Consequently, Felicidad produces 15 million pairs of jeans and 20 million bushels of corn, and Arcadia produces 8 million pairs of jeans and 48 million bushels of corn. Assume there are no other countries willing to trade goods, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of jeans and…
With its existing resources Country A can produce either 500 million bushels of wheat or 40 million cars. They are presently not engaged in trade and are choosing to produce and consume 375 million bushels of wheat and 10 million cars. The country decides to completely specialize in wheat production. They trade 100 million bushels of wheat in exchange for 12 million cars. After trade they can consume million more bushels of wheat and million more cars than they could before trade?
K Suppose the United States and Mexico both produce hamburgers and tacos. The combinations of the two goods that each country can produce in one day are presented in the table below. United States Mexico Hamburgers (in tons) 0 40 80 120 Which country has an absolute advantage in producing tacos? Mexico Tacos (in tons) 108 72 36 0 Hamburgers (in tons) 0 8 16 24 Tacos (in tons) 60 40 20 Which country has a comparative advantage in producing tacos? The United States Suppose the United States is currently producing 80 tons of hamburgers and 36 tons of tacos and Mexico is currently producing 16 tons of hamburgers and 20 tons of tacos. If the United States and Mexico each specialize in producing only one good (the good for which each has a comparative advantage), then a total of additional ton(s) of hamburgers can be produced for the two countries combined (enter a numeric response using an integer) and a total of additional ton(s) of tacos can be produced.

An automobile company has two factories, one in Vietnam and one in Australia, each with the same number of workers. The Vietnamese factory can produce either 150 engines or 100 transmissions per day. The Australian factory can produce either 200 engines or 150 transmissions per day. A. Which factory has an advantage is irrelevant since the theory of comparative advantage only applies to countries, not companies. B. The Australian factory has an comparative advantage in the production of transmissions. C. The Vietnamese factory has an absolute advantage producing both engines and transmissions. D. The Vietnamese factory has a comparative advantage in the production of transmissions.
Pls explain each answer by calculations
The concept of comparative advantage is used by both countries and companies. Use a two goods example and two countries or companies to explain the comparative advantage theory. Use this theory to justify if its worthwhile for countries or companies specialize.
