(a) Which industry would you expect to be relatively labour intensive, and which capital-intensive? Why (b) Draw production possibilities frontiers for each country keeping the production of rugs in the horizontal axis and the production of robots in the vertical axis. Assuming that consumer preferences are the same in both countries, add indifference curves and relative price lines under autarky. What are the differences in the relative price of rugs between the countries under autarky? (c) Depict the optimal production and consumption bundles when Canada and India open up to trade with each other. Explain what form will the trade pattern take. (d) Does free-trade make all individuals in Canada and India better-off? Explain why or why not.

Suppose there exist two imaginary countries, Congaree and Yosemite. Their labor forces are each capable of supplying four million hours per week that can be used to produce almonds, shorts, or some combination of the two. The following table shows the amount of almonds or shorts that can be produced by one hour of labor.
Use the PPF to answer the following questions: (a) At point F, how many sweaters are being produced? How many hard drives? (b) Label points A-H as either efficient, inefficient, or unattainable. (c) Can we determine if point F is productively efficient? If so, is it productively efficient? (d) Can we determine if point F is allocatively efficient? If so, is it allocatively efficient?
None

I only need help in the 3 last questions Q1. The following table shows the output of rice and machinery one labor hour can produce in Mexico and Thailand: Rice Machinery Thailand 6 2 Mexico 2 1 What are the marginal products of labor in rice and machinery production in Thailand? What about Mexico? Which country has an absolute advantage in rice and which country has an absolute advantage in machinery? What is the autarkic price ratio of machinery relative to rice in each country? Which country has a comparative advantage in rice and which country has a comparative advantage in machinery? Suppose Mexico has 1,000 labor hours available. Construct the production-possibility frontier (PPF) and identify the optimal autarky equilibrium (using an indifference curve) for Mexico. Suppose the international price is set at 1 machinery:2.5 rice and Mexico decides to completely specialize in producing the product in which it has a comparative advantage. How would…

This question is a file-upload question. Work your answer in a piece of paper, take a picture with your phone and upload the file. Using the table below answer the following: Points Soda Pizza A 10 В 1 6 3 a) Draw a PPF map (put soda in the vertical axis and pizza in the horizontal axis), showing all the points on the PPF. b) What is the opportunity cost of an extra pizza when you are on segment AB? What about when you are at segment CD? (i.e., how many sodas you have to give up in order to get an extra pizza? SHOW YOUR WORK!) c) What is your PPF's shape? Is it a straight line or does it have a bowed outward shape? Justify! d) Suppose that there is a new technology that affects ONLY the production of soda. Illustrate this effect on your PPF map.
