Home Country                                                                Foreign Country

Wage tv = 12.    MPLtv =2                                              Wage*tv = ? MPL*tv =? P*tv = 3

Ptv = ?    Wage c = ?                                                        Wage*c = 6 MPL*c =1 P*c = ?

MPLc =?   Pc=4

  1. What is the marginal product of labor for TVs and cars in the Home country? What is the no-trade relative price of TVs at Home?

  2. What is the marginal product of labor for TVs and cars in the Foreign country? What is the no-trade relative price of TVs in Foreign?
