Suppose there exist two imaginary countries, Sequoia and Denall. 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. Almonds Country (Pounds per hour of labor) Sequoia Denall Suppose that initially Denall uses 1 million hours of labor per week to produce almonds and 3 million hours per week to produce shorts, while Sequoia uses 3 million hours of labor per week to produce almonds and 1 million hours per week to produce shorts. As a result, Sequola produces 12 million pounds of almonds and 16 million pairs of shorts, and Denall produces 6 million pounds of almonds and 36 million pairs of shorts. Assume there are no other countries willing to engage in trade, so, in the absence of trade between these two countries, each country consumes the amount of almonds and shorts it produces.…

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…
