Suppose Canada can produce cars at an opportunity cost of 2 computers for each car it produces. Suppose Mexico can produce cars at an opportunity cost of 8 computers for each car it produces. Indicate how both countries can gain from free trade.
3. Gains from trade Consider two neighboring island countries called Contente and Euphoria. 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) Contente 16 Euphoria 20 Initially, suppose Contente uses 1 million hours of labor per month to produce jeans and 3 million hours per month to produce corn, while Euphoria uses 3 million hours of labor per month to produce jeans and 1 million hours per month to produce corn. Consequently, Contente produces 8 million pairs of jeans and 48 million bushels of corn, and Euphoria produces 15 million pairs of jeans and 20 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 corn…

Would the following terms of trade be acceptable to both nations? i. 1 can baby formula = 2 cans tuna fish: (Click to select) ii. 1 can baby formula = 3.5 cans tuna fish: (Click to select) iii. 1 can baby formula = 6 cans tuna fish: (Click to select)
as firms and workers play to their comparative advantage, trade will also cause the average level of wages in an economy to Because trade raises Select the correct answer below: worker productivity; rise a country's exports; fall a country's imports; fall O quantity supplied of labor; rise
The graph on the right shows Tanzania's production possibilities frontier for cashew nuts and mangoes. Assume that the output per hour of work is 8 bushels of cashew nuts or 2 bushels of mangoes, and that Tanzania has 1,000 hours of labor. Without trade, Tanzania evenly splits its labor hours between cashews and mangoes and produces and consumes at point A. Suppose Tanzania opens trade with Kenya, and Kenya's output per hour of work is 1 bushel of cashew nuts or 1 bushel of mangoes. Having the comparative advantage, Tanzania completely specializes in cashew nuts. Locate the point of production for Tanzania. bushels of mangoes and bushels of cashew The point of production for Tanzania includes nuts. (Enter your responses as whole numbers.) Suppose Tanzania keeps 5,000 bushels of cashew nuts and exports the remaining 3,000 bushels. The terms of trade are 1 bushel of mangoes for 2 bushels of cashew nuts. Locate the point that shows the amount of cashew nuts and mangoes that Tanzania…
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
Imagine that it takes an average Australian miner 10 hours to mine a metric ton of coal and 20 hours to mine a metric ton of manganese. It takes the average South African miner 4 hours to mine a metric ton of coal and 12 hours to mine metric ton of manganese.Create a table to show how productive each miner is in a day. a. In what task does each miner have a comparative advantage? b. Which resource will each country import? How about export? c. Explain how markets provide the opportunity for the mining companies to specialize and earn gains from trade.
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 pairs 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 million pairs per week, and the total production of rye has increased by 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"). Arcadia ´Dolorium Jeans Rye…
The following hypothetical production possibilities tables for China and Canada. Assume that, before specialization and trade, the optimal product mix for China is alternative D and for Canada is alternative S.
The small happy Kingdom of Pollyanna does not trade with the rest of the world, but uses U.S dollars for its currency. Its domestic price of tofu is $1 per pound and the Kingdom produces and consumes 5 tons of tofu. The world price of tofu is just $0.50 per pound. At this price, the Kingdom would produce only 2 tons of tofu and would consume 8 tons of tofu, and thus have to import 6 tons of tofu. What is the deadweight loss in the tofu market associated with the Kingdom staying closed to trade? (Note: 1 ton = 2000 lbs.)
