But the country B is specialized in producing wheat and the other one in sugar. Suppose that the A and the B each work 40 hours a week and can devote this time to growing sugar, raising wheat, or a combination of the both. The person A can produce a pound of sugar in 10 hours and a pound of wheat in 20 hours. The B, who is more productive in both activities, can produce a pound of Sugar in 8 hours and a pound of meat in 1 hour. (a) Draw the Production Possibilities Frontiers for both workers? (b) Whose have absolute and comparative advantage? (c) Why they move toward trade? (d) Graphically shows the gain from trade.

With a given amount of labor and other resources, producers in the nation of Germany can produce either 100 SUVs or 50 sedans. Thus, two SUVs must be given up to produce each sedan. Using the same amount of labor and resources, producers in Japan can produce 40 SUVs or 40 sedans- so one SUV must be given up for each sedan produced. Based on this information, Japan has a comparative advantage in the production of sedans. () a) True b) False

Consider an economy with two producers, Sidney and Connor. Each allocates 8 hours per day between the production of chocolate and bananas. Given 8 hours of labour, Sidney can produce 80kg of chocolate or 16kg of bananas. Connor can produce either 2kg of chocolate or 4kg of bananas per hour. B) Introducing Trade i) Suppose production capacity does not change. Do we expect there to be trade between Sidney and Connor? Why or why not? ii) What are the bounds on the price of bananas (in terms of chocolate) if there is trade? In other words, what range must the price of bananas fall within? iii) Assume a price of 4. In other words, 1kg of bananas cost 4kg of chocolate. Explain why trade is likely to make both Sidney and Connor better off in this case.
